EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate beauty of the Lobed-leaved Wood Sorrel, Oxalis lobata. The botanical illustration was originally created by John Curtis and later meticulously engraved by Weddell for publication in William Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1823. The Lobed-leaved Wood Sorrel is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. Its unique, heart-shaped leaves are lobed and deeply veined, as depicted in the engraving. The plant is characterized by its vibrant yellow flowers, which bloom in clusters and are surrounded by distinctive red bracts. The botanical illustration captures the delicate details of the plant's leaves, veins, and flowers with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Lobed-leaved Wood Sorrel to life. The Botanical Magazine, founded by William Curtis in 1794, was one of the most influential botanical publications of its time. It was dedicated to the publication of accurate and beautifully illustrated botanical plates, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and collectors. This engraving is a testament to the dedication and skill of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time, who meticulously documented the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The Lobed-leaved Wood Sorrel remains a beloved plant among gardeners and naturalists, and this stunning engraving continues to capture its essence and beauty over 200 years after it was first published.
