EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts Jacquin's least coronilla, Coronilla minima, a small and delicate flowering plant that was first recorded and illustrated by the renowned botanist John Curtis in the early 19th century. The engraving, drawn by Curtis and expertly executed by the skilled engraver Weddell, was published in the prestigious Botanical Magazine in London in 1820. The Jacquin's least coronilla is a member of the pea family and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is a low-growing, mat-forming plant that produces small, yellow pea-like flowers with a distinctive red keel. The plant is named in honor of the French botanist Peter Jacquin, who described it for the first time in 1760. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcoloured engraving provide an accurate and beautiful representation of the Jacquin's least coronilla. The delicate veining on the leaves and the fine hairs on the stems are expertly rendered, as are the minute details of the flowers. The engraving also includes an identification label with the plant's name and botanical classification. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1794, was one of the most influential botanical publications of its time. It was dedicated to the publication of high-quality, handcoloured plates of new and exotic plants, and was widely circulated among botanists, horticulturists, and collectors. This engraving of the Jacquin's least coronilla is a testament to the excellence of the Botanical Magazine and the skill of its contributors, John Curtis and Weddell. Today, the Jacquin's least coronilla is still cultivated as an ornamental plant and is appreciated for its attractive, dainty flowers. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
