EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Blue Daisy, Felicia amelloides. The image is taken from Jussieus Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. Stipple engraving is a technique that involves the application of tiny dots of ink to create shading and texture, resulting in a rich and intricate visual effect. The Blue Daisy, also known as the Blue Pigeonwings, is a small, delicate plant native to South Africa. Its vibrant blue flowers bloom in clusters, attracting various pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies. The plant's leaves are lanceolate, with a glossy, dark green appearance. Jussieus Dictionary of Natural Science was a groundbreaking work in the field of zoology and botany during the 19th century. The publication was a collaborative effort between several prominent European scholars and artists, who worked tirelessly to document and illustrate the natural world. This particular engraving is a testament to their dedication and the artistic skill of the engraver. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its beautiful depiction of the Blue Daisy but also in its role as a record of scientific knowledge during a time when exploration and discovery were shaping our understanding of the natural world. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural beauty that surrounds us.
