EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases Rue, Ruta linifolia, specifically the variety R. linifolia var. vargrandiflora, as depicted in Samuel Curtis' Botanical Magazine, published in London in 1822. The illustration was meticulously crafted by the skilled hand of Weddell. Rue, a member of the Rutaceae family, is an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean region. Its linear leaves, as indicated by its specific epithet linifolia, are characterized by their slender, elongated shape. The variety vargrandiflora is distinguished by its large, grand flowers, which are depicted in full bloom in this illustration. The botanical illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the plant, showcasing its delicate veining, intricate flower structure, and vibrant colors. The use of hand-coloring adds an artistic touch, bringing the plant to life and highlighting its natural beauty. The Botanical Magazine, founded in 1812, was a leading publication for botanical illustrations during the 19th century. Its high-quality engravings were produced using the copperplate technique, which allowed for fine detail and precise lines. The magazine was instrumental in documenting and disseminating knowledge about new and exotic plant species, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and artists alike. This illustration of Rue, Ruta linifolia var. vargrandiflora, is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the natural world through the lens of botanical illustration.
