EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts a White Martagon Lily, Lilium martagon album, also known as Le Martagon blanc. The image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's precious and illuminated collection of the most beautiful and curious flowers, which are cultivated in both Chinese and European gardens, published in Paris in 1776. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the delicate beauty of this lily to life. The White Martagon Lily is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its tall stem, which can grow up to 1.5 meters high, and its large, showy, white flowers with red spots. The flowers bloom in the summer and are often used as cut flowers due to their long vase life. The etching technique used in this print involves the use of acid to bite lines into a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper. The addition of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the image. The Buchoz collection, of which this print is a part, was renowned for its high-quality prints and was widely admired during the 18th century for its artistic merit and botanical accuracy. This beautiful White Martagon Lily etching is a testament to the artistry and skill of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of horticulture and botanical exploration during the Enlightenment era. It is a reminder of the enduring beauty of nature and the importance of preserving and celebrating it through art.
