EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Wild Strawberry, Fragaria vesca, also known as the One-leaved Strawberry, Strawberry of Versailles, or Fragaria monophylla. The botanical illustration was originally published in The Botanical Magazine, a renowned horticultural publication based in Lambeth Marsh, London, in 1787. The engraving, meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, captures the intricate details of this delightful plant. The Wild Strawberry is a low-growing perennial plant native to Europe and North America, bearing small, fragrant white flowers and bright red fruits. The engraving beautifully illustrates the solitary, one-leaved plant with its heart-shaped leaves and the tiny white flowers nestled among them. The Wild Strawberry was a popular subject for botanical illustrations during the 18th and 19th centuries due to its ornamental value and its edible fruits. This engraving, produced under the direction of William Curtis, was executed by James Sowerby, Sydenham Edwards, and others, showcasing the collaborative efforts of the botanical community during this period. The Wild Strawberry continues to be appreciated for its beauty and edibility in gardens and natural settings. Its inclusion in botanical publications like The Botanical Magazine helped to spread knowledge and appreciation for this charming plant among horticulturists, gardeners, and naturalists.
