EDITORS COMMENTS
Folio 16 from A Collection of Flowers, an exquisite botanical illustration by John Edwards (1768-1795), is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. This magnificent work of art, created between 1768 and 1795, showcases a stunning array of flowers, including several angiosperms, or flowering plants. However, what sets this folio apart from the others in the collection is the unexpected presence of an animal amongst the flora. The animal depicted in this illustration is an even-toed ungulate, specifically a member of the Bovidae family, which includes goats, sheep, and antelopes. The animal's scientific name is not explicitly stated in the illustration, but its characteristics suggest it may be a caprine, such as a goat or a sheep. The inclusion of an animal in a botanical illustration was not uncommon during the 18th century, as many naturalists believed that the study of animals and plants were interconnected. John Edwards was a skilled artist and botanist, and his illustrations were known for their decorative and meticulous attention to detail. The folio is a testament to his artistic prowess, as the flowers are rendered in exquisite detail, with their petals, stems, and leaves captured in all their intricacy. The animal, too, is depicted with equal care, its fur texture and muscle definition rendered with remarkable precision. This folio is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the past, showcasing the interconnectedness of the plant and animal worlds, and the meticulous attention to detail that characterized botanical illustration during the 18th century. The Natural History Museum's Botany Library is fortunate to hold such a rare and beautiful work in its collection, a reminder of the rich natural history heritage that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world today.
