EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Italian Maple, or Acer opalus, a stunning and rare tree known for its unique, almost black leaves. The image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Les dons merveilleux et diversement colories de la nature dans le règne végétal," published in Paris in 1783. Buchoz was a renowned botanist and artist, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty and wonder of the natural world. The Italian Maple, also referred to as the Opal Maple or the Black Maple, is a small tree or large shrub native to the Mediterranean region. Its leaves, which are typically a deep green color, turn a striking black hue in the fall. The tree is also known for its beautiful, red to purple fall foliage. This particular engraving is adorned with various other plants and flowers, including the Black Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), the Black Quince (Cotinus coggygria), and the Common Linn (Linnéa ordinaire). These plants were likely included to provide context and to showcase the diversity of the natural world. The engraving is further enhanced by the intricate detail and vibrant colors, which were carefully hand-painted by skilled artisans. The use of copperplate engraving, a technique that involves etching lines into a copper plate and then inking and printing from that plate, allowed for a high level of detail and precision. This beautiful and intricate work of botanical art is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world. It also highlights the important role that art and science played in the 18th century, as people sought to understand and document the natural world around them.
