EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Twin-flowered Daphne, or Daphne pontica. The intricate detail of the image, created by master engraver F. Sansom Jr. after an original illustration by Sydenham Edwards, brings to life the delicate charm of this rare and captivating plant. Daphne pontica, also known as the twin-flowered daphne, is a species of Daphne that is native to the mountains of the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus region. This plant is renowned for its unique and striking double flowers, which bloom in late winter or early spring. The flowers are typically a rich pink color, with a sweet, pleasant fragrance that adds to their allure. The botanical illustration was first published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine in 1810, a renowned publication that showcased the most beautiful and intriguing plants of the time. Curtis was a pioneering figure in the field of botany, and his magazine was instrumental in advancing the study and appreciation of plants around the world. This stunning engraving not only serves as a testament to the beauty and rarity of the Twin-flowered Daphne, but also to the skill and artistry of the engraver and illustrator. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring the delicate petals and lush foliage to life, transporting us to a world of natural wonder and beauty.
