EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured copper engraving, created by the talented James Sowerby, showcases the delicate beauty of fried parsley (Apium petroselinum). Extracted from the renowned book "Botanique medicinale" by William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker in 1832, this print is a testament to Sowerby's tireless dedication to botanical illustration. Sowerby was an exceptional artist who left an indelible mark on the world of botany. Throughout his illustrious career, he meticulously depicted over 2500 plants for Smith Mammoth's "English Botanical" series between 1790 and 1814. Additionally, he crafted vibrant representations of English mushrooms in his work titled "Colourful Representations of English Mushrooms" in 1797. In this particular artwork, Sowerby masterfully captures the intricate details and textures of fried parsley. The rich hues applied through hand-colouring breathe life into each leaf and stem, making them appear almost tangible. This enchanting print serves as a visual feast for admirers of both art and nature alike. The inclusion of this piece within the pages of "Botanique medicinale" speaks volumes about its significance within botanical literature. It stands as a testament to Sowerby's contribution to scientific understanding through artistic representation. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving today, we are reminded not only of Sowerby's immense talent but also his unwavering commitment to documenting the natural world with precision and beauty.
