EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the charming Ground Ivy, Glechoma hederacea, also known as Gymnospermia, as illustrated by Sydenham Edwards for the esteemed botanist William Curtis in his Lectures on Botany, delivered at the Botanic Garden in Lambeth, London, in 1805. The intricate detail of the engraving by F. Sansom brings to life the vibrant green foliage and delicate purple-blue flowers of this low-growing creeping plant. Ground Ivy, a member of the Lamiaceae family, is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It is often mistakenly referred to as Creeping Charlie or Johnny-on-the-ground due to its habit of forming dense mats that smother the ground. The plant's heart-shaped leaves are covered in small hairs, providing a velvety texture and making it an effective groundcover. The botanical illustration of Ground Ivy holds historical significance as it was part of a series of botanical lectures delivered by William Curtis, a pioneering figure in the field of botany. Curtis was a founding member of the Linnean Society and the author of the influential work, "Botanical Magazine," which showcased the most recent botanical discoveries. The Lectures on Botany were a groundbreaking series that brought together the latest research and discoveries in the field, making them an essential resource for botanists and horticulturists of the time. This stunning engraving is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world and the skill of the artists and craftsmen who captured it for future generations to appreciate.
