EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the enchanting Poets Daffodil, or Narcissus poeticus, a beautiful and historic flower that has captivated poets, artists, and botanists for centuries. The Poets Daffodil is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to the Mediterranean region. It is named for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers, which bloom in the spring and range in color from pure white to yellow with a central orange-red blotch. This particular illustration is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical work, "Flora von Deutschland" (Flora of Germany), published in Jena in 1871. Schlechtendal was a prominent German botanist and founder of the Botanical Garden in Halle an der Saale. His meticulously detailed and beautifully illustrated works were considered the standard reference for German flora during the late 19th century. The handcoloured lithograph technique used in this print adds an extra layer of artistry and beauty to the already captivating image of the Poets Daffodil. The intricate details of the flower's petals, leaves, and stems are rendered with remarkable precision, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. The Poets Daffodil has held a special place in literature and art, inspiring famous works such as William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." Its elegant and timeless beauty continues to captivate us, making it a beloved symbol of the renewal and rebirth that comes with the arrival of spring.
