EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intriguing hollow root system of Corydalis cava, also known as Hollow-rooted fumitory or Fumaria cava. The illustration is a masterpiece from the esteemed Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1793, with the engraving skillfully executed by Sansom. Corydalis cava is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe and western Asia. Its most distinctive feature is its hollow root, which is not only aesthetically intriguing but also serves practical purposes. The hollow root system allows the plant to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently, enabling it to thrive in various soil conditions. The illustration captures the plant in all its glory, with its delicate, fern-like foliage and bell-shaped flowers adorning the stem. The vibrant colors of the hand-coloring bring the plant to life, highlighting its unique features and making it a true botanical treasure. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1787, was a pioneering publication dedicated to documenting and disseminating knowledge about the natural world. Its high-quality illustrations, produced using the latest techniques, set a new standard for botanical accuracy and beauty. This engraving of Corydalis cava is a testament to the magazine's commitment to excellence and its enduring legacy in the field of botanical illustration.
