EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching of Pot Marigold, Calendula officinalis, is a stunning example of the intricate detail and beauty found in the Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses. Dating back to 1776, this work of art showcases the Pot Marigold, a beloved flower that thrives in both Chinese and European gardens. The Pot Marigold, also known as Souci in some regions, is a member of the daisy family and is native to the Mediterranean. It is characterized by its bright orange or yellow flowers, which bloom from summer to fall. The plant is often grown for its attractive foliage and medicinal properties, as the flowers and leaves are used to make calendula oil, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The intricate etching technique used in this print captures the delicate details of the Pot Marigold's petals, veins, and leaves. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Pot Marigold's rich history and cultural significance are beautifully captured in this etching, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. The Pierre Joseph Buchoz Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses is a rare and valuable collection of hand-colored etchings of exotic and rare flowers. This collection was produced in Paris during the late 18th century and is renowned for its exceptional quality and intricacy. This particular etching of the Pot Marigold is a testament to the beauty and artistry of this collection and the enduring appeal of botanical illustration.
