Published by William Curtis in Lambeth, London, this botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Two-flowered Narcissus, also known as Narcissus biflorus, is a rare and stunning variety of daffodil, characterized by its unique double-flowered blooms. Each delicate blossom displays an intricate arrangement of petals, with the outer petals forming a protective cup around the inner petals, which are arranged in a graceful, concentric pattern. The vibrant yellow hue of the petals contrasts beautifully with the dark green foliage, creating a visually stunning display. The history of botanical illustration is an essential part of the scientific record, providing a detailed and accurate record of plant species for scientific research, conservation efforts, and horticultural purposes. The Botanical Magazine, founded by William Curtis in 1787, was one of the most influential botanical publications of its time, featuring high-quality illustrations of rare and exotic plants from around the world. This particular engraving is a masterpiece of the botanical illustration art form, showcasing the intricacies of the Two-flowered Narcissus in stunning detail. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the image, bringing the flower to life and capturing the imagination of viewers. This historical artifact is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important piece of botanical history.
