1780 Antirrhinum Botanist Bulliard Herb Herbal Herbier Pierre Snapdragon Vulgare
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Yellow Snapdragon, Antirrhinum vulgare. The intricate detail in this botanical illustration is a testament to the skill of the French botanist, Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard. The engraving is taken from Bulliard's Herbier de la France, published in Paris in 1780. The Yellow Snapdragon, also known as the Common Snapdragon, is a popular garden plant known for its distinctive, tubular flowers. The flowers come in various colors, but this illustration highlights the bright yellow variety. The name "snapdragon" comes from the way the flowers snap shut when touched, revealing their two-lipped structure. Bulliard was a renowned botanist and naturalist, and his work was influential in the development of botanical science. Herbier de la France was one of the most comprehensive works of its time, featuring over 6,000 plant species. The illustrations were produced using the copperplate engraving technique, which allowed for high-quality, detailed reproductions. This particular illustration is a beautiful example of the artistry and scientific precision that went into botanical illustration during the 18th century. The handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Yellow Snapdragon remains a beloved plant today, and this illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation.
