EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Friars Cowl or Arisarum vulgare, a beautiful and intriguing plant from the Arum family. The engraving, created by Jean Victor Dupin junior for Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial in 1783, showcases the plant's unique features with remarkable detail and accuracy. The Friars Cowl, also known as the Globe Flower or Renoncule à fleurs globuleuses, is native to Europe and is characterized by its large, arrow-shaped leaves and distinctive, spherical flowers. The plant's name derives from the resemblance of the hooded, bell-shaped flowers to the cowls worn by medieval friars. The Arum family, to which the Friars Cowl belongs, is known for its diverse and often exotic members, many of which are featured in Buchoz's Herbier Artificial. The work, which contains over fifteen hundred plates, represents both European and exotic species and was published in Paris in 1783. This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the artistry and scientific precision of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world and the fascination with the plant kingdom that drove botanical exploration and documentation during the late 18th century. The intricate details captured in this engraving continue to captivate viewers and offer a window into the rich history of botany and botanical illustration.
