EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Camellia Thea, a species of tea plant. Taken from Phytographie Medicale by Joseph Roques, a renowned botanist and physician, this image was published in 1821 and is now part of a private collection. The intricate details captured in this engraving by Hoquart highlight the flower's exquisite petals and lush leaves. Camellia Thea has long been revered for its medicinal properties, as it was extensively studied by Roques in his exploration of poisonous plants with remedies and unique qualities. Notably, this particular species contains caffeine, making it an essential component in the production of tea. Its scientific name, Camellia sinensis, distinguishes it from other varieties within the same genus. As we admire this stunning print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders have been explored and documented throughout history to enhance our understanding of both their beauty and potential benefits.
