EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Hybrid Poppy Anemone, Anemone coronaria, as illustrated by the renowned French flower painter, Pancrace Bessa. The image is taken from Charles Malos's Guirlande de Flore, or Garland of Flowers, published in Paris in 1816 by Chez Janet. Bessa's masterful touch is evident in the intricate details of the delicate petals, which unfurl like velvet against the rich, earthy tones of the poppy's center. The Hybrid Poppy Anemone, also known as the Sensitive Poppy or Mimosa Anemone, is a stunning hybrid of the common poppy and the windflower anemone. Its unique characteristic is its sensitivity to touch, causing the petals to fold inward when touched, a trait reminiscent of the Mimosa tree. Accompanying the Hybrid Poppy Anemone in this botanical illustration are other exquisite flowers, including the Iris germanica, a symbol of royalty and wisdom, and the sensitive plant, Mimosa pudica, which shares the Hybrid Poppy Anemone's sensitivity to touch. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Bessa and Malos, who meticulously captured the essence of these flowers in their miniature botanical masterpiece. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, making this a truly enchanting work of art that continues to captivate viewers over two centuries later.
