EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Arum Maculatum, 1775" is a true gem from the Flora Londiniensis collection by William Curtis. Published in 1775, this exquisite print showcases the beauty and intricacy of nature during the 18th century. The Arum Maculatum, also known as Adders Root or Cuckoo Pint, takes center stage with its enchanting presence. Its pale green spathe gracefully envelops a purple spadix adorned with delicate purple spots. The vibrant red berries that follow create a striking contrast against the plant's leaf-like hood. Surrounded by historical symbolism and folklore, this illustration transports us to an era where myth and reality intertwined seamlessly. The Arum Maculatum was associated with various names such as Jack in the Pulpit or Lords and Ladies due to its unique shape resembling religious garments worn by friars. It was believed that these plants had connections to both heaven (angels) and hell (devils), adding an air of mystery to their existence. Intriguingly depicted alongside this botanical wonder are naked boys frolicking amidst cows and bulls—a whimsical touch that adds liveliness to the scene. This print captures not only the beauty of flora but also offers glimpses into cultural beliefs prevalent during that time. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this hand-coloured engraving preserves a moment in history when scientific exploration merged harmoniously with artistic expression. It
