EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the intricate details of an amaryllis stigma, a vital component of the flower's reproductive system. The image is taken from "Verhandeling over de verdubbeling van bloemen" or "Treatise on the Doubling of Flowers," a seminal work by Dr. John Hill published around 1811. Dr. Hill was a renowned English botanist, physician, and author who made significant contributions to the fields of botany and horticulture. The illustration, titled "Stigma of an Amaryllis," is a naturally colored work of art, likely executed in gouache. It offers a close-up view of the stigma, revealing its intricate structure and delicate beauty. The stigma is the sticky, receptive surface at the top of the pistil, which receives the pollen grains from the anther of another flower during pollination. This illustration is an essential part of Dr. Hill's treatise, which aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of plant propagation. The work was originally published in English and later translated into Dutch as "Leerwijze over de voortteeling der plant-gewassen," or "Instruction on the Propagation of Plant Species." The publication of this treatise marked an important milestone in the history of botany and horticulture, as it provided a detailed and accurate record of various plant species and their reproductive processes. The intricacy and precision of this illustration serve as a testament to the artist's skill and the importance of botanical illustration in the advancement of scientific knowledge during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it remains a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
