EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Jean Victor Dupin junior for Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial in 1783, showcases two intriguing plants: the Starfish Plant (Orbea variegata) and the White Swallow-wort (Vincetoxicum hirundinaria). The Starfish Plant, also known as the Starfish Vine or Orbea, is a low-growing, round-leaved plant with distinct, star-shaped flowers. Its variegated leaves exhibit a striking pattern of white and green, adding visual interest to any garden. Adjacent to the Starfish Plant is the White Swallow-wort, a member of the dogbane family. This plant is also known by its alternative names, including Small-leaved Round-leaved Malva and Rotundifolia. Its white, tubular flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The White Swallow-wort is native to South Africa and was introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant. The Starfish Plant and White Swallow-wort are often found in the same botanical illustrations due to their similar growth habits and attractive appearances. In this engraving, the artist has expertly captured the intricate details of their leaves, flowers, and stems, providing a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the late 18th century. This exquisite botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the Starfish Plant and White Swallow-wort make this an essential addition to any botanical art or history collection.
