EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of a Catalpa tree, scientifically known as Bignonia catalpa. The image showcases the intricate details of the tree's flowers, leaves, pods, and seeds in vibrant colors. This handcolored stipple engraving was created by Pancrace Bessa and engraved on copper by Gabriel for Francois Andre Michaux's "North American Sylva" in 1857.
French botanist Michaux extensively explored America and Canada in the late 18th century, cataloging native trees like the Catalpa. The tree is native to North America and is commonly found in Canada and the United States.
The Catalpa tree is known for its beautiful blooms and unique seed pods, making it a popular choice for landscaping. Its wood material is also valued for various purposes due to its durability and strength.
This botanical illustration not only highlights the physical characteristics of the Catalpa tree but also serves as a historical record of early exploration and scientific study in North America. The attention to detail in this engraving truly brings out the natural beauty of this iconic species.
