EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate beauty of Spiny Water Starwort, Callitriche palustris (previously known as Callitriche aquatica), a fascinating aquatic plant native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. The engraving is based on a drawing by the renowned English botanist and artist, James Sowerby, for James Smith's English Botany, published in 1800. The Spiny Water Starwort is characterized by its slender, submerged stems adorned with small, star-shaped leaves and delicate, white flowers. The plant's most distinctive feature is the spiny projections on its leaves, which provide protection against herbivores. These spines are not visible in this engraving, but the intricate details of the leaves and flowers are expertly captured, revealing the plant's delicate beauty. The botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of Sowerby and the high-quality production techniques of the time. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of vibrancy and depth to the engraving, bringing the Spiny Water Starwort to life. This stunning illustration is a valuable addition to any natural history collection or botanical garden, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the past. The Spiny Water Starwort continues to thrive in various aquatic environments today, offering a reminder of the natural world's beauty and complexity.
