EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the delicate beauty of Camellia delicatissima, a rare variety of Camellia japonica. The botanical illustration was originally created by the skilled hand of Johann Jakob Jung, and later meticulously translated into engraving by Abbe Laurent Oudet for Lorenzo Berlese's renowned horticultural publication, "Iconographie du Genre Camellia," published in Paris in 1841. Camellia delicatissima, also known as Camellia bonardii or Camellia bonnardii, is renowned for its delicate, almost transparent petals that appear to be made of the finest silk. The flowers of this camellia variety are small, measuring only about two inches in diameter, but their ethereal beauty makes up for their diminutive size. The petals are a soft, pale pink hue with a subtle blush of deeper pink at the edges, and they are often adorned with intricate, golden-yellow stamens. The engraving captures every detail of this exquisite flower, from the delicate veining on the petals to the intricate patterns on the stamen filaments. The background is kept simple, allowing the delicate beauty of the camellia to take center stage. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the flower to life in a way that a engraving could not. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art, and serves as an inspiration for gardeners and botanists alike. Whether displayed in a botanical garden, a greenhouse, or a private collection, this image of Camellia delicatissima is sure to captivate and delight.
