EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Portuguese Squill, Sea Daffodil, and Pyramidal Bugle," is an exquisite representation of three beautiful coastal flowers from Professor Filippo Arenas' seminal work, "La natura e cultura dei fiori fisicamente esposta" (The nature and culture of flowers physically displayed), published in Palermo, Italy. The image features the Portuguese squill, scientifically known as Scilla peruviana, depicted in the first and second vignettes. This plant, also called the Peruvian squill or the blue squill, is native to the Mediterranean and is characterized by its beautiful blue flowers that bloom in late winter or early spring. The third vignette showcases the Sea Daffodil, or Pancratium maritimum, a bulbous perennial with distinctive white, bell-shaped flowers and long, narrow leaves. The fourth vignette introduces the Pyramidal Bugle, or Ajuga pyramidalis. This low-growing, mat-forming perennial boasts attractive, spiked inflorescences and purple-blue flowers that bloom in late spring. The Latin names for these plants, as listed in the image, are Hyancinthus peruanus, Narcissus major seu Pancratium, and Viola pyramidalis, respectively. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving showcases the intricacies of each flower's structure, from the delicate veining on their petals to the intricate patterns on their leaves. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection or study of coastal flora. This engraving is not to be confused with any commercial use of the names Portuguese squill, sea daffodil, or pyramidal bugle, and is available for rights-managed use only through Mary Evans Prints Online.
