EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "La Mine d'Or Jacinthe" or "The Golden Mine of Hyacinth," is a beautiful representation of the Hyacinthus orientalis hybrid, also known as the Oriental Hyacinth. The image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. Buchoz was a renowned botanical illustrator of his time, and this collection showcased some of the most beautiful and curious flowers cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens. The Hyacinth depicted in this print is a hybrid, likely a result of the crossbreeding of various species of Hyacinthus. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the flower are captured beautifully in this etching, with its golden center, purple petals, and green leaves. The delicate veining and textures of the petals are particularly noteworthy, as is the realistic depiction of the flower's stem and leaves. The title "La Mine d'Or Jacinthe" is a fitting one, as the Hyacinth was often referred to as the "golden flower" due to its rich color and precious beauty. The etching itself is a testament to the artistry and skill of Buchoz and his team, who were able to capture the essence of this beloved flower in such intricate detail. This print is a reminder of the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world, as well as the beauty and wonder that can be found in even the most familiar of flowers. The Hyacinthus orientalis remains a popular garden plant today, and this beautiful etching serves as a reminder of its rich history and enduring appeal.
