EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Fungi: Agaricus fimelarius, commonly known as the common ink-cap. The illustration is taken from Flora Londiniensis [Flowers of London], a renowned botanical publication by William Curtis, published between 1777 and 1798. The color engraving, created by an anonymous English artist in the 18th century, captures the essence of this poisonous fungus with remarkable detail. The cross-section view reveals its unique structure and features, making it a valuable resource for botanists and enthusiasts alike. The delicate nature of this toadstool is evident in its elegant form and enchanting presence. Its inky cap appearance adds a touch of mystery to its overall allure. This diagrammatic representation allows us to explore every aspect of this Georgian-era fungi species. Published under the authorship of Sydenham Edwards, William Kilburn, and James Soerby - all esteemed illustrators - these plates are considered some of their earliest book illustrations. They were published by "Author at his Botanic Garden" in Lambeth-Marsh and B White & Son in London. Displayed here as part of The Stapleton Collection, this mesmerizing print takes us on a journey into the world of flora londoniensis. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary mushrooms lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
