EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Birds Eye Maple, as depicted in plate XIII from the renowned publication "Imitation of Wood" in 1827. Created by Nathaniel Whittock, a talented artist of his time, this colour lithograph captures the essence and allure of this unique wood effect. Birds Eye Maple is known for its distinct grain pattern resembling small bird's eyes scattered across its surface. This technique involves carefully applying veneer to create an ornate and decorative interior decoration that adds a touch of elegance to any space. The detailed depiction in this print allows viewers to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship involved in creating such stunning woodwork. The trompe l'oeil painting technique used here creates an illusion so realistic that one might mistake it for real wood upon first glance. Plate XIII serves as both a guide and inspiration for those seeking to incorporate this beautiful wood effect into their own designs or restoration projects. Its inclusion in "Imitation of Wood" demonstrates its significance as a valuable resource for artisans and enthusiasts alike. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection, this piece represents not only a historical artifact but also an enduring symbol of timeless beauty. With its rich colours and meticulous attention to detail, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of ornamental decoration at its finest.
