EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Le Liseron à Fleurs Violettes" or "Morning Glory with Violet Flowers," is a stunning representation of the Morning Glory, a captivating bindweed species. The etching is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's esteemed collection, "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. Morning Glory, scientifically known as Convolvulus tricolor, is a fast-growing vine that originated in the Andes Mountains of South America. Its name derives from the fact that it blooms only in the morning and wilts by midday. The vine's vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers come in various colors, including blue, purple, pink, and white. The Morning Glory's ethereal beauty is captured in this intricately detailed etching. The delicate, winding tendrils of the vine are skillfully rendered, as are the intricacies of the flower's petals and the veins of its leaves. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the Morning Glory to life. Buchoz's collection was renowned for its high-quality prints of exotic and rare flowers, making it a valuable resource for botanical research and artistic inspiration. This particular etching is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, showcasing the Morning Glory in all its splendor. Today, Morning Glory remains a popular ornamental plant, gracing gardens around the world with its enchanting display of flowers. This etching serves as a reminder of the beauty and allure of this bindweed species, as well as the artistic mastery of the past.
