Exquisite 1800 Blue Wildflower Botanical Engraving – A Rare Floral Masterpiece
About the Item
Delicate Blue Flower Study, Plate No. 496
This engraving is from a botanical series by William Curtis, likely part of the publication "The Botanical Magazine," which was known for its detailed and colored illustrations of plants. This particular plate is labeled as number 496, dated November 1, 1800.
Published by William Curtis, a prominent botanist and publisher based at St. George Crescent. The artist credited is S. Edwards, with engraving by F. Sansom. Sydenham Edwards was a distinguished botanical illustrator, recognized for his precise and elegant depictions of plant life. His work played a significant role in advancing botanical illustration during his time.
The engraving shows a detailed study of a plant with delicate blue flowers, characterized by its slender, arching stems and elongated leaves. The subtle use of color highlights the natural beauty and intricate structure of the plant, capturing the delicacy of the petals and the fine details of the leaves and buds.
The scientific accuracy combined with artistic finesse makes this piece valuable both for botanical study and as a work of art. Such illustrations were essential for the study and appreciation of plants in an era before photography.
The print is in good condition, with well-preserved colors and clear details. Slight foxing and minor creases are present, typical of its age. The paper shows light yellowing, but the overall integrity remains intact, suitable for display.
