EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is a testament to the captivating beauty and historical significance of the Nymphaea nelumbo, or the Sacred Egyptian Bean, as depicted in Robert John Thornton's "The Temple of Flora," published between 1768 and 1837. The illustration, held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the magnificent pink bloom of this aquatic perennial plant, which is a member of the Nymphaeaceae family and the order Nymphaales. The Nymphaea nelumbo, commonly known as the white or Egyptian water lily, is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it is characterized by having two seed leaves, or cotyledons, upon germination. The plant's large, circular, pink flowers, which can reach up to 30 cm in diameter, have captivated observers for centuries. The Sacred Egyptian Bean holds deep cultural significance in ancient Egypt, where it was revered for its association with the goddess Hathor, who was often depicted wearing a crown adorned with the water lily. The plant was believed to symbolize the sun and the fertility of the Nile River. Thornton's meticulous drawing showcases the intricate details of the plant's structure, from its large, lobed leaves that float on the water's surface to its delicate, fragrant flowers. The illustration is a stunning example of the botanical art of the 18th and 19th centuries and serves as a reminder of the rich history and beauty of the natural world.
