EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Autumn Crocus, Colchicum autumnale, also known as the Meadow Saffron or Naked Ladies. The botanical illustration, created by Jean Victor Dupin junior for Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial in 1783, captures the essence of this European native plant in stunning detail. The Autumn Crocus is a perennial herb, characterized by its distinctive purple-pink or white flowers that emerge from the ground in late autumn, often after the first frost. The plant's unique name, "naked ladies," refers to the fact that the flowers appear seemingly out of nowhere, as the leaves have already withered away by the time of bloom. The illustration also features accompanying plants, including the Holly, Ilex aquifolium, with its iconic holly berries, and the Holly Oak, Quercus ilex. The intricate details of the leaves, stems, and flowers are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the exceptional skill of the engraver. The Herbier Artificial, or Artificial Herbarium, was a comprehensive botanical work published in Paris between 1780 and 1786, featuring over fifteen hundred plates of European and exotic plants. The collection was a testament to the advancements in botanical knowledge during the Age of Enlightenment and remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation today.
