EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Borage with Blue Flowers, as illustrated in The British Herbalist from March 1770. Created by John Edwards, a renowned artist of his time, this coloured engraving captures the essence of this enchanting plant. The vibrant blue petals of the Borage flowers stand out against the intricate details depicted in this botanical illustration. Each petal seems to dance gracefully, forming a star-like shape that gives rise to its popular nickname - Starflower. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every fine line and curve on each individual flower. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when herbalism was highly regarded for its medicinal properties. Borage was known for its healing qualities and was often used as a remedy for various ailments. Its presence in The British Herbalist serves as a testament to its significance within traditional medicine practices. This piece is part of The Stapleton Collection and is now housed within a private collection. It serves not only as an exquisite work of art but also as a reminder of our rich botanical heritage and the importance of preserving nature's wonders. Through this beautifully rendered engraving, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved and gain insight into the historical significance attached to plants such as borage.
