EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching showcases the enchanting beauty of the Yellow Spider Lily, Lycoris aurea. Often mistakenly referred to as the Yellow Amaryllis, this botanical marvel belongs to the Liliaceous family. The intricate detailing of this rare print, taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses collection, published in Paris in 1776, captures the essence of this unique flower. The Yellow Spider Lily, native to China and Europe, is a striking sight with its vibrant yellow funnel-shaped flowers adorned with dark red spots. The long, slender stems bear these flowers, which bloom in late summer, adding a burst of color to gardens. The etching's meticulous shading and delicate lines bring out the intricacies of the Lily's petals, veins, and stems, making it a true work of art. Buchoz's collection, which focused on the most beautiful and curious flowers, was renowned for its high-quality engravings. This particular print, with its hand-coloring, adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the already stunning image of the Yellow Spider Lily. The botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific exploration of the natural world during the 18th century. The Yellow Spider Lily continues to captivate gardeners and botanists alike with its allure, and this beautiful etching serves as a timeless reminder of its unique charm.
