Curtis’s Botanical Magazine – Digitalis purpurea var. alba (White Foxglove), Plate 2587 – Original Hand‑Colored Copperplate Engraving

A refined botanical study of the white foxglove, rendered in the exquisite style of Curtis's Botanical Magazine. This hand-colored engraving captures the elegant architecture of Digitalis purpurea var. alba—a tall, upright stem adorned with alternating, elongated leaves that frame delicate tubular, bell-shaped flowers in pale white to soft blush tones. Intricate veining details the interior of each corolla, revealing the botanical precision characteristic of early 19th-century scientific illustration. A single leaf outline, meticulously drawn to the right, exemplifies the editorial standards of the 1820s Curtis plates. A museum-quality addition for collectors of vintage botanical art and heritage design enthusiasts.
