EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Crocus-flowered meadow-saffron, Colchicum crociflorum, a beautiful and rare spring-blooming plant. The illustration was created by Miss C. Curtis, likely the daughter of Samuel Curtis, and expertly engraved by Weddell for The Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1826. The Curtis Botanical Magazine, established in 1821, was one of the most prestigious botanical publications of its time. Its high-quality illustrations were produced using the latest techniques in copperplate engraving and handcoloring, resulting in stunningly detailed and accurate representations of plants from around the world. Colchicum crociflorum, also known as Crocus-flowered meadow-saffron, is a bulbous perennial that grows in meadows and woodlands in Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive, crocus-like flowers that bloom in late spring, with six white petals and a purple-streaked center. The plant was highly valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its ability to induce labor and treat various inflammatory conditions. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of botanical discovery during the 19th century. It not only showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also highlights the skill and artistry of the illustrators, engravers, and colorists who brought these plants to life through their meticulous work. The intricate details of the petals, veins, and stamens are rendered with remarkable precision, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration.
