EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century botanical board showcases the beauty and intricacy of a tomato, captured by an unknown artist. The print, now housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, offers a glimpse into the world of natural history illustration during this era. The tomato takes center stage on the board, its vibrant red hue contrasting against the delicate green leaves that surround it. Every detail is meticulously rendered with precision and accuracy, highlighting both the artistic skill of the creator and their dedication to scientific representation. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical piece to life once again. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into how our understanding of botany has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it serves as a reminder of mankind's enduring fascination with nature's wonders. It invites us to marvel at the humble tomato - once considered exotic and even poisonous - which has since become an essential ingredient in cuisines around the world. This photograph captures more than just an image; it encapsulates centuries of human curiosity and exploration. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary objects lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
