EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by Pfitzer after an illustration by A. Carie Baron, showcases three distinct aromatic trees: Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis, 1), Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora, 2), and Sassafras (Sassafras albidum, 3). Known as Laurier commun, Laurier camphrier, and Laurier sassafras in French, these trees were widely studied and admired during the 19th century. The Bay Laurel, with its glossy, evergreen leaves, was revered for its aromatic leaves used as a flavoring in cooking and as a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Greece and Rome. The Camphor Tree, native to East Asia, was valued for its resin, which was used in traditional medicine and perfumery, as well as in the production of varnishes and mothballs. The Sassafras Tree, native to the eastern United States and the Caribbean, was celebrated for its unique multi-trunk structure and its roots, which were used to make a popular tea and flavoring, known for its distinctive taste and aroma. This stunning engraving, taken from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of these aromatic trees, and highlighting their significance in various aspects of human life.
