EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the exquisite Camellia monfortiana, a captivating variety of Camellia japonica. The botanical illustration was originally created by the renowned botanical artist Johann Jakob Jung and meticulously reproduced as an engraving by the skilled hand of Abbe Laurent Oudet. The image is taken from Lorenzo Berlese's seminal work, "Iconographie du Genre Camellia, ou description et figures des camellia les plus beaux et les plus rares," published in Paris in 1841. Camellia monfortiana, also known as Camellia myrthyfolia, is a beloved camellia variety for its unique and alluring features. Its glossy, evergreen leaves are adorned with delicate, serrated edges, reminiscent of those found on Myrtle plants. The plant produces clusters of beautiful, velvety, and fragrant flowers, which bloom in various shades of pink, white, and red. The engraving captures the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamens, providing an almost three-dimensional representation of this camellia variety. The artistry and precision of this hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving serve as a testament to the dedication and passion of the botanical community during the 19th century. The meticulous process involved in creating such an image allowed for the accurate documentation and preservation of the natural world, making it an invaluable resource for botanical research and horticultural innovation. Today, this beautiful work of art continues to inspire and captivate audiences, showcasing the timeless allure of the Camellia monfortiana and the enduring power of botanical illustration.
