EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Camellia sweetiana, also known as the Sweets painted-flowered camellia or the small-leaved sweet camellia. This botanical illustration is a variation of the Camellia japonica, a beloved plant in the Camellia family. The image, created by the skilled hands of Oudet, was based on a botanical drawing by Johann Jakob Jung, as featured in Lorenzo Berlese's Iconographie du Genre Camellia, published in Paris in 1841. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this print truly bring the essence of this rare and stunning camellia to life. In the illustration, we see the delicate Camellia sweetiana nestled amongst a charming garden setting. A small, playful dog lies at the base of the camellia bush, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. In the background, roses and other wild shrubs, such as Rosa canina (dog rose) and Rosa agrestis (wild rose), create a lush and picturesque environment. The Camellia sweetiana is characterized by its small, glossy leaves and clusters of sweetly fragrant, pink flowers. The plant's thorns, reminiscent of those found on the Rosa sepium (wild briar), add a subtle contrast to the softness of the camellia blooms. This botanical artwork, with its intricate detail and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the natural world. It serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who captured the essence of these plants for future generations to appreciate and admire.
