EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the Saffron crocus, scientifically known as Crocus sativus. The image, captured by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert in the 19th century, is a handcoloured steel engraving that depicts this exquisite flower in all its glory. The Saffron crocus is renowned for its valuable spice - saffron. This delicate plant has been used for centuries in various medicinal and culinary practices due to its unique flavor and therapeutic properties. Its bright orange stigmas are carefully harvested and dried to create one of the most expensive spices in the world. Maubert's botanical illustration perfectly captures every intricate detail of this remarkable plant. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his precise depiction of each petal, stigma, and leaf. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. This print not only serves as a stunning piece of botanical art but also provides insight into the agricultural practices prevalent during that era. It offers a glimpse into how plants were studied and documented for their scientific significance. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate Maubert's work from Fine Art Finder with clarity and precision.
