EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the majestic Lime Tree, or Tilia alba, as illustrated in Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), and engraved by Devegni. The Lime Tree, also known as the Linden Tree, is a beloved European species, characterized by its broad, round leaves and distinctive fragrance. The tree's large, white flowers bloom in clusters, providing a beautiful display during the summer months. The edible fruit, or nut, of the Lime Tree is encased in a hard, brown shell and is a popular ingredient in traditional European cuisine. This illustration captures the intricate details of the Lime Tree, from the veins on its leaves to the texture of its bark. The delicate, handcoloured details add depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. The Lime Tree has historical significance as well. In European folklore, the tree was believed to ward off evil spirits and was often used as a symbol of peace and protection. The European Peacock Butterfly, Vanessa io, can be seen perched on one of the tree's branches, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The butterfly, with its vibrant colours and distinctive eye patterns, is a fitting companion to the Lime Tree, which is also known as the "Tree of the Eye of the Peacock" in some cultures. This stunning illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of Turpin and the team at Batelli e Figli, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
