EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Least Daffodil, or Narcissus pseudonarcissus subsp. minor, a rare and captivating variant of the common daffodil. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by James Sowerby and published in William Curtis' esteemed The Botanical Magazine, a leading horticultural publication of the late 18th century. The Least Daffodil, also known as Narcissus minor or Sydenham Daffodil, is a small, diminutive daffodil native to Europe, specifically in woodlands and hedgerows. Its delicate, pale yellow flowers with a slight tinge of green at the edges, are adorned with a central cup-shaped corona of intricately folded petals, creating an ethereal and charming appearance. The botanical illustration, produced by Sowerby, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The intricate veining on the leaves, the delicate folds of the petals, and the precise shading all contribute to a stunningly realistic representation of the Least Daffodil. William Curtis, the founder and editor of The Botanical Magazine, was a renowned botanist, horticulturist, and writer. His publication was instrumental in advancing the study and appreciation of botany and horticulture during the Age of Enlightenment. The inclusion of this rare and beautiful daffodil in his magazine underscores its significance and value to the scientific community and horticultural enthusiasts of the time. Today, the Least Daffodil remains a cherished and sought-after plant in gardens and botanical collections around the world, a testament to its enduring allure and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world.
