Created by the English School in 1832, this handcolored copperplate engraving is a true masterpiece. The meticulous detail of this print showcases the common savin branch and its vibrant berries with utmost precision. The artist behind this work is none other than James Sowerby, a renowned botanist who dedicated his life to capturing the essence of nature through his illustrations. Sowerby's expertise shines through as he brings out every intricate feature of this medicinal plant.
