EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured engraving, titled "Tiger Flower or Peacock Flower" showcases the remarkable artistry of Panacre Bessa. Published in 1836 as part of the renowned botanical collection Flore des jardiniers, amateurs et manufacturiers: D apres les dessins de Bessa, this print captures the beauty and intricacy of nature. The Tiger Flower, scientifically known as Tigridia T Pavonia, is a bulbous perennial native to Mexico. Its vibrant petals resemble the majestic stripes of a tiger while its stamen and stem evoke the elegance of a peacock's feathers. The artist masterfully portrays every minute detail - from the delicate veins on each leaf to the intricate roots that anchor this magnificent plant. Bessa's talent lies not only in his ability to capture botanical accuracy but also in infusing his illustrations with artistic flair. The hand-colouring technique employed here adds depth and richness to every hue, making this print truly come alive. As we gaze upon this historical gem from our Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back to an era when scientific exploration and artistic expression intertwined seamlessly. This artwork serves as a testament to both human curiosity about nature's wonders and our desire to preserve them for future generations.
