Umbelliferous Chickweed, Holosteum umbellatum: A Botanical Marvel This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the intricate beauty of Umbelliferous Chickweed, Holosteum umbellatum. Created by renowned botanical illustrator, Richard Duppa, in 1816, this image is an essential addition to any botanical collection. The Umbelliferous Chickweed, also known as Holosteum umbellatum, is a member of the Umbelliferous or Carrot family, characterized by the umbellate inflorescence, a distinctive flat-topped cluster of flowers. This charming plant is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, thriving in various habitats including meadows, fields, and woodlands. The illustration reveals the delicate details of the plant's various parts, from its slender, prostrate stems adorned with tiny, oval leaves, to the delicate, white, umbellate flowers that bloom in the summer months. The engraving process, which involved transferring an image from an etched copper plate to paper using ink and pressure, highlights the intricacies of the plant's structure, making each line and detail stand out in stunning clarity. The vibrant hand-colouring adds a touch of life to the engraving, bringing the plant to life and showcasing its natural beauty in all its glory. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Richard Duppa but also provides a valuable record of the Umbelliferous Chickweed, contributing to the rich history of botanical illustration and scientific discovery.
