EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment when Bernard de Jussieu, a renowned French botanist of the 18th century, plants a majestic cedar from Lebanon in the enchanting garden of plants in Paris. The image, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, transports us back to 1734 and allows us to witness this significant event. Intrigued by botanical wonders from around the world, Jussieu's curiosity led him to introduce this particular Lebanese cedar into the heart of France. With its towering presence and rich symbolism, this tree represents not only his passion for natural history but also serves as a testament to Arab civilization's contributions to botanical knowledge. As we gaze at this historical scene, our eyes are drawn not only to Jussieu but also to the camel standing beside him. This animal symbolizes both transportation across vast distances and cultural exchange between different regions. It reminds us that scientific exploration knows no boundaries or limitations. The composition beautifully captures Jussieu's learned demeanor as he carefully tends to his newly planted treasure. His actions reflect his dedication towards expanding human understanding of plant life and fostering fertility within nature itself. Through Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills, we can appreciate every intricate detail captured within this engraving-like image. From Jussieu's focused expression to the lush surroundings of the plant garden, each element contributes harmoniously towards conveying a sense of wonderment about our natural world.
