EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Camellia squamosa, a rare and elegant Camellia japonica variety also known as Camellia sweetiana. Produced by the esteemed botanist and horticulturist Dr. Sacco in Milan in 1838, this botanical illustration was meticulously rendered by the skilled hand of Abbe Laurent Oudet, based on the original botanical drawing by Johann Jakob Jung. The Camellia squamosa is a beloved camellia variety for its unique, velvety, and richly textured blooms. The engraving masterfully captures the intricate details of the petals, which are adorned with delicate, raised bumps, giving the flower a distinctive, almost pebbled appearance. These bumps, or squamosities, are the source of the plant's alternative names, Camellia squamosa and Camellia squammosa. This beautiful illustration is taken from Lorenzo Berlese's Iconographie du Genre Camellia, a comprehensive work on the camellia genus that was published in Paris in 1841. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the study and appreciation of camellias, which were becoming increasingly popular in European gardens during that time. The hand-coloring of this engraving adds an additional layer of artistry, bringing the vibrant hues and subtle shading of the Camellia squamosa to life. The result is a stunning work of botanical art that transports us to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and inspiration.
