EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Chinese primrose, Primulidium sinense, also known as Primula sinensis or Primavera della China. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The engraving was created by the skilled hand of Stanghi, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin (1775-1840) is renowned as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. His meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this beautiful representation of the Chinese primrose. The plant is shown in full bloom, its graceful, five-petaled flowers unfurling in a vibrant display of pink and white. The Chinese primrose is a herbaceous perennial that is native to China and is known for its edible, tuberous roots, which have a sweet and slightly bitter taste. The Chinese primrose is often compared to the common rue, Ruta graveolens, due to their similar leaf shapes. However, the Chinese primrose is easily distinguished by its larger, showier flowers and its non-fragrant leaves. The history of this plant goes back to ancient China, where it was used for medicinal purposes and as a food source. In the realm of botany, the Chinese primrose is classified under the Primulaceae family. This enchanting illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic mastery of Turpin and the team at Batelli e Figli. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the importance of documenting and preserving its wonders for future generations.
