EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of Cape leadwort, also known as Plumbago auriculata. The delicate blue flowers are depicted in exquisite detail through a handcoloured steel engraving by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert. This enchanting botanical plate is part of Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849. The Cape leadwort is native to South Africa and is admired for its vibrant blooms. Its scientific name, Plumbago auriculata, reflects its ear-shaped leaves that add an interesting touch to this stunning plant.
