EDITORS COMMENTS
Germander Speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial plant native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Richard Duppa in 1816, showcases the intricate details and beauty of this charming flower. Duppa's illustration is a testament to the meticulous botanical art of the time, capturing the delicate nuances of the Germander Speedwell's leaves, flowers, and stems. The engraving process involved transferring the artist's drawing onto a copper plate, which was then etched with acid to create the intricate lines and patterns. The plate was then inked and pressed onto paper to create a high-quality, detailed print. The Germander Speedwell is a member of the Plantaginaceae family and is often found in grasslands, meadows, and waste places. Its small, blue-violet flowers bloom in clusters from late spring to early summer, attracting bees and other pollinators. The plant's leaves are oval or lanceolate, with a distinctive white or grey felted underside. This beautiful engraving is an important historical record of the Germander Speedwell and a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. It is a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
