EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the captivating Camellia variegata plena, a rare and beautiful variety of Camellia japonica. The botanical illustration was originally created by the skilled botanical artist Johann Jakob Jung, and later meticulously translated into an engraving by the renowned French engraver Abbe Laurent Oudet. The image captures the essence of this remarkable camellia, with its velvety petals displaying intricate white veining against a backdrop of rich green foliage. The variegation, or 'plena' in botanical terms, adds an extra layer of allure, creating a mesmerizing interplay of colour and texture. This stunning representation of Camellia variegata plena is taken from Lorenzo Berlese's Iconographie du Genre Camellia, published in Paris in 1841. Berlese was a dedicated botanist and collector, renowned for his extensive knowledge and meticulous documentation of camellias. His work showcased the most beautiful and rare varieties of this beloved plant, making it an invaluable resource for botanical enthusiasts and artists alike. The intricate process of creating this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving involved first creating a detailed drawing, which was then transferred to a copper plate. The plate was then etched with tiny dots, creating a textured effect that mimicked the appearance of the original botanical illustration. The plate was then handcoloured, adding depth and vibrancy to the final image. This print is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical community during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of the camellia flower.
