EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Yellow Corydalis, or Pseudofumaria lutea, also known as Yellow Fumitory. The intricate details of this botanical illustration were meticulously captured by the skilled hand of English botanical artist Richard Duppa in the early 19th century. The Yellow Corydalis is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the Fumariaceae family, and it is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The plant is characterized by its slender, branching stems that bear delicate, lobed leaves and vibrant yellow flowers. The blooms appear in early spring, and they are composed of five petals that are fused at the base, giving the flower a distinctive bell-shaped appearance. The plant's name, Pseudofumaria, means "false fumitory," as it was once mistakenly believed to be a member of the Fumitory genus. This stunning illustration is taken from Richard Duppa's seminal work, "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in London in 1816. Duppa's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Yellow Corydalis in this engraving make it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
