EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Mayapple, also known as Podophyllum peltatum. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. The Mayapple, with its delicate white flowers and vibrant green leaves, stands tall against a backdrop of natural splendor. The Mayapple holds many names - American mandrake, wild mandrake, ground lemon - each reflecting its unique characteristics and historical significance. This botanical wonder has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its medicinal properties. Its edible fruit adds another layer of intrigue to this enchanting plant. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's meticulous attention to detail brings this illustration to life. His expertise in botanical illustration shines through every stroke of his pen. Published by Batelli e Figli and engraved by Gabriel, this piece is part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), which remains an invaluable resource for botany enthusiasts. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to Florence, Italy in 1837 when it was first published. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders have fascinated humanity throughout history and continue to inspire us today.
