EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of the hollow-rooted fumitory (Fumaria cavana), a native plant of Germany. Dating back to 1793, this beautiful botanical illustration was created by the renowned botanical artist Sydenham Edwards and published in William Curtis' Botanical Magazine. The hollow-rooted fumitory is characterized by its slender, tubular stems that appear to be hollow, and its delicate, dusty mauve flowers. The intricate veining and texture of the leaves are expertly captured in this engraving, providing a stunning representation of the plant's natural beauty. The historical significance of this illustration lies in its early documentation of the hollow-rooted fumitory, which was an important discovery in the field of botany during the late 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring further enhance the visual appeal of this botanical masterpiece, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical botanical art.
