EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of Potentilla longifolia, also known as Viscid Cinquefoil or Potentilla viscosa. The illustration was meticulously produced by the skilled hands of engraver S. Watts, based on an original drawing by M. Hart, and was published in the esteemed Botanical Register, edited by Sydenham Edwards, in Ridgeway, London, in 1832. Potentilla longifolia is a charming and elegant wildflower, native to Europe, Asia, and North America. The plant is characterized by its long, slender stems adorned with delicate, five-petaled, yellow or pink flowers. The specific epithet "longifolia" refers to the plant's long-stemmed leaves and flowers. The viscid cinquefoil is a versatile plant, thriving in various habitats, from meadows and woodlands to rocky slopes and wetlands. Its vibrant blooms add a splash of color to the landscape, attracting a diverse array of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the intricacies of the Potentilla longifolia's delicate structure, from the veining on its leaves to the subtle textures of its petals. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the flower to life and capturing its essence in a timeless and captivating way.
