EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Moraea elegans, commonly known as the Elegant Moraea or the Blue Star of South Africa. The intricate detail of the image, created by skilled engraver F. Sansom Jr., brings to life the delicate features of this rare and captivating bulbous plant. The illustration was originally produced by Sydenham Edwards, and later published in the esteemed Botanical Magazine by William Curtis in London, in the year 1810. Moraea elegans, also known as Moraea spicata, is a native to the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It is characterized by its tall, slender stems adorned with vibrant blue star-shaped flowers, each with six petals and a distinctive yellow center. The plant grows from a bulb, which stores nutrients for the plant during periods of dormancy. The Elegant Moraea is a true botanical marvel, and its discovery and documentation were significant contributions to the scientific community during the 18th and 19th centuries. This stunning engraving serves as a testament to the beauty and importance of the natural world, and the dedication of botanists, illustrators, and engravers who worked tirelessly to preserve and share their discoveries with the world.
