EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quicken tree, Sorbus aucuparia. 1776" takes us back to the 18th century when scientific exploration was at its peak. Created by Johann Sebastien Muller, this botanical plate is a part of John Evelyn's renowned work, Sylva, which delves into the discourse of forest trees and timber propagation. The Quicken tree or Quick-Beam depicted in this print is scientifically known as Sorbus aucuparia. Its intricate leaves are beautifully captured in fine detail through the copperplate engraving technique employed by Muller. This artwork not only showcases the natural beauty of this European tree but also serves as a testament to the advancements made in scientific methods during that era. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported to an age where botany and natural history were highly valued fields of study. The Quicken tree stands tall against a backdrop of simplicity, symbolizing resilience and strength amidst changing times. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and the significance they held for scientists seeking knowledge about our natural world. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans had an insatiable curiosity about nature's wonders – a curiosity that continues to drive scientific exploration today.
