EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a branch and berries from the cedar tree, scientifically known as Juniperus lycia. The image, captured by James Sowerby (1757-1822), is a handcolored copperplate engraving from a botanical illustration featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's "Medical Botany" in 1832. The cedar tree depicted here is also referred to as the Lycian juniper or olibanum resin tree. Its branches are adorned with clusters of vibrant berries, adding a pop of color against its lush green foliage. This antique botanical plate provides us with an exquisite glimpse into the natural history of England during the 19th century. James Sowerby was renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and artistic talent. He contributed over 2,500 plant illustrations for Smith's monumental work "English Botany" and created numerous other botanical works throughout his career. As we admire this enchanting print, we are reminded of the immense diversity found within nature. The delicate balance between scientific accuracy and artistic expression beautifully captures the essence of this majestic cedar tree. It serves as a testament to both Sowerby's skill as an illustrator and our fascination with botanical wonders that continue to inspire us today.
