EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Agarwood, scientifically known as Aqualaria malaccensis, a plant species that is critically endangered. The image, captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, beautifully portrays the intricate details of this rare botanical specimen. Handcoloured with precision and engraved on copperplate stipple by Mlle. Plee under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, this illustration is a testament to their exceptional talent as French botanical illustrators during the 19th century. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 by Batelli e Figli as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this artwork serves as both an aesthetic masterpiece and a valuable scientific resource. The Agarwood tree holds significant importance due to its resinous wood commonly used for incense production. However, its critical endangerment emphasizes the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect this precious species from extinction. As we admire this stunning depiction of nature's wonders through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us be reminded of our responsibility to safeguard our planet's biodiversity. This print not only captures the beauty and fragility of Agarwood but also serves as a poignant reminder that every effort counts in preserving our natural heritage for future generations.
