EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Common Ivy, Hedera helix, adorned with ripe berries. Dating back to 1780, this botanical illustration was created by the renowned French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard for the prestigious Herbier de France in Paris. The Common Ivy is a versatile and tenacious plant, known for its ability to climb walls and trees using aerial roots. It is native to western and southern Europe, North Africa, and the western Caucasus. This engraving captures the plant's intricate details, from its glossy, lobed leaves to the clusters of small, red berries. However, it's essential to note that while the Common Ivy is an attractive and popular ornamental plant, its berries contain toxic compounds, making them poisonous to humans and animals. This engraving serves as a reminder of the plant's beauty as well as its potential danger. Bulliard's meticulous work is a testament to the importance of botanical illustrations in the history of science. These illustrations played a crucial role in documenting and cataloging new plant discoveries, contributing to the advancement of botany and medicine. This particular engraving is a stunning example of the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, offering a glimpse into the past while showcasing the captivating world of the Common Ivy.
