EDITORS COMMENTS
Nerine undulata, also known as the wave lily or the dancing lily, is a beautiful and intriguing bulbous plant that belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. This exquisite hand-colored etching of Nerine undulata is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, qui se cultivent tant dans les jardins de la Chine, que dans ceux de l'Europe," published in Paris in 1776. Buchoz was a renowned botanical illustrator and publisher, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This etching showcases the delicate beauty of Nerine undulata in all its splendor. The undulating waves of the white petals, which give the plant its common name, are captured with remarkable precision and elegance. The intricate veining and delicate texture of the leaves are also beautifully rendered, adding to the overall effect of this stunning botanical illustration. Nerine undulata is native to South Africa and is known for its striking appearance. It typically blooms in late summer or early fall, producing elegant white or pink flowers that sit atop tall stems. The plant's bulbs are often used for ornamental purposes, and the flowers are sometimes used in floral arrangements. This hand-colored etching is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of Nerine undulata, and serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical illustration played in the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th century. The intricate details captured in this etching continue to captivate and inspire us today, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or art collection.
