EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of Camellia punctata plena, a captivating variety of Camellia japonica. The intricately detailed illustration was created by the skilled hand of Abbe Laurent Oudet, based on the original botanical drawing by the renowned botanical artist Johann Jakob Jung. The image is taken from Lorenzo Berlese's Iconographie du Genre Camellia, published in Paris in 1841. Camellia punctata plena, also known as Camellia japonica var. delicatissima, is renowned for its delicate and exquisitely adorned blooms. The flowers display an array of captivating features, including their velvety, white petals, speckled with crimson spots, and their golden stamen that contrasts beautifully against the petals. The engraving masterfully captures the intricate texture and form of the petals, as well as the delicate veining and fine hairs that cover the surface of the leaves. The artistry of this copperplate stipple engraving is truly remarkable, with the meticulous application of ink dots creating a three-dimensional effect that brings the Camellia punctata plena to life. The hand-coloring further enhances the image, adding vibrancy and depth to the already stunning botanical subject. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the Camellia japonica, a plant that has long been admired for its delicate flowers and ornamental value. The botanical illustration not only serves as a record of this plant but also as a work of art, showcasing the skill and dedication of the artists and engravers involved in its creation.
