EDITORS COMMENTS
Clusius Cinquefoil, Potentilla clusiana, is a beautiful and rare alpine plant native to the European Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by F. Sansom Jr. after an illustration by Sydenham Edwards, was published in William Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1810. The intricate details of the Clusius Cinquefoil's delicate petals, veined leaves, and sturdy stem are expertly captured in this stunning work of art. The Clusius Cinquefoil is a member of the Rosaceae family, and its common name comes from the five-lobed shape of its flowers. The plant typically grows in rocky, mountainous areas and is characterized by its low-growing habit and bright yellow or orange flowers, which bloom in late spring or early summer. The plant's roots are believed to have medicinal properties, and it has been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece. The Botanical Magazine, founded by William Curtis in 1797, was a groundbreaking publication that aimed to document and disseminate knowledge about the world's plants, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and naturalists alike.
