EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of a blue flowered wild succory or chicory, scientifically known as Cichorium intybus. The delicate petals of the flower are captured in stunning detail through the handcolored copperplate engraving by James Sowerby. This botanical illustration was featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's renowned publication "Medical Botany" in 1832. James Sowerby, a tireless artist and illustrator, dedicated his talent to capturing the essence of over 2,500 plants for various botanical works. His expertise is evident in this exquisite depiction of the wild succory or chicory plant. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this floral specimen to life on paper. The wild succory or chicory has long been recognized for its medicinal properties and herbal uses. Its roots have been used as a coffee substitute due to their rich flavor profile.
