EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the beloved Daisy, Bellis perennis, in all its botanical glory. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Sydenham Edwards and meticulously engraved by F. Sansom for the esteemed botanist and natural philosopher, William Curtis. This illustration was featured in Curtis' renowned "Lectures on Botany," delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, England, in the year 1805. The Daisy, also known by its scientific names Polygamia superflua and Bellis perennis, is a common wildflower found throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. Its iconic white petals, arranged in a circular pattern around a yellow center, have captured the hearts of people for centuries. This charming flower is not only a delight to the eye but also holds significance in various cultures and folklore. The intricate details of the Daisy's petals, stem, and leaves are beautifully rendered in this botanical masterpiece. The delicate veining, the subtle shading, and the precise lines all contribute to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the vibrancy and richness of the image, making it a true work of art. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and passion of William Curtis and his collaborators in documenting the natural world. It is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world that surrounds us.
