EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the Antirrhinum Triste, also known as the Melancholy or Black-Flowered Toad-Flax, a captivating and historically significant plant species. Dated back to 1789, this botanical illustration showcases the plant's striking beauty and unique characteristics. The Antirrhinum Triste is a member of the Scrophulariaceae family, native to the Mediterranean region. Its name derives from the Greek words "anti-rhinos," meaning "opposed to the nose," and "rhinon," meaning "nose," due to the plant's distinctive, tubular, and two-lipped flowers that resemble the snout and nostrils of a toad. The black-flowered variety, as depicted in this print, is particularly noteworthy for its somber, almost mournful appearance. The deep, rich hue of its petals, combined with their wilted, drooping appearance, has given rise to the plant's melancholic moniker. The Antirrhinum Triste was a popular subject among botanical artists and collectors during the 18th and 19th centuries due to its rarity and allure. This print, produced in 1789, is an essential addition to any botanical or historical collection. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical illustrators of the time. The Antirrhinum Triste, with its enchanting appearance and intriguing history, continues to captivate and inspire admiration from plant enthusiasts and historians alike.
