EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured copper engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of Compendial hyssop, a purple flowered plant known as Hyssopus officinalis. Created by the talented artist James Sowerby in 1832 for William Woodville and Sir William Jackson's Botanique Medicinale, this print is a testament to Sowerby's remarkable skill and dedication. Sowerby, renowned for his botanical illustrations, produced over 2,500 drawings for Smith's monumental "English Botany" and 440 illustrations of mushrooms for "Coloured Figures of English Fungi". His tireless efforts brought to life the intricate details and vibrant colors of countless plants. In this particular artwork, Sowerby captures the essence of Compendial hyssop with precision and artistry. The delicate petals are rendered in shades of deep purple that seem to radiate from within. Each individual leaf is meticulously depicted with its unique shape and texture. The composition exudes elegance as the hyssop blooms gracefully against a blank background, allowing viewers to focus solely on its enchanting features. This print serves not only as an aesthetic delight but also as a valuable reference for botanists and enthusiasts alike. Through this masterful engraving by James Sowerby, we gain insight into the rich history of botanical illustration while appreciating nature's boundless wonders captured on paper.
