EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th century showcases the intricate beauty of Solanum nigrum, commonly known as nightshade. Illustrated by William Curtis for his renowned publication "Flora Londiniensis" this color engraving is a testament to the exquisite artistry and scientific accuracy of botanical illustrations during that era. The image portrays various elements of the nightshade plant, including its seeds, flowers, berries, roots, and leaves. The meticulous detail captured in this illustration allows us to appreciate the complexity and delicate nature of this poisonous flora. Published in London between 1777 and 1798, these plates were created by esteemed artists such as Sydenham Edwards, William Kilburn, and James Soerby. They were published under the authorship of Curtis himself at his Botanic Garden in Lambeth-Marsh. Displayed within a private collection today but originally part of The Stapleton Collection, this print offers a glimpse into British botany history. It serves as a reminder of how early scientists meticulously documented plant species with both artistic flair and scientific precision. As we admire this enchanting engraving by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where botanical illustrations played a crucial role in understanding our natural world.
