EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Blue Succory or Common Chicory: A Botanical Marvel in Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving" This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Blue Succory, also known as Common Chicory, Cichorium intybus, and scientifically as Polygamia aequalis. The illustration is a masterpiece by the renowned botanical artist Sydenham Edwards, with the engraving skillfully executed by F. Sansom. This illustration was produced for the esteemed Lectures on Botany, as delivered in the Botanic Garden at Lambeth, in the year 1805 by the eminent botanist William Curtis. The Blue Succory, a native of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, is a herbaceous perennial plant that boasts vibrant blue flowers. The plant's intricate structure is meticulously depicted in this illustration, with its robust stem, lobed leaves, and distinctive flower heads. The delicate petals of the flower are artfully rendered, revealing their veined texture and the intricacies of their arrangement. The hand-colouring technique employed in this engraving adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the illustration, bringing the Blue Succory to life. The rich, deep blues of the flowers contrast beautifully with the lush greens of the leaves, creating a striking visual composition. This botanical illustration is not only a testament to the artistic prowess of Sydenham Edwards and F. Sansom but also serves as an invaluable record of the natural world during the early 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting the beauty and diversity of the natural world for future generations. The Lectures on Botany, delivered by William Curtis, were a significant contribution to the field of botany, providing a comprehensive record of the plants grown in the Botanic Garden at Lambeth. This illustration of the Blue Succory is a prime example of the high-quality botanical art and scientific rigour that characterized these lectures.
