1. Title: Dahoon Holly or Cassina, Ilex Cassine Description: This exquisite handcoloured stipple engraving depicts the Dahoon Holly or Cassina, Ilex Cassine, a beautiful evergreen tree native to the southeastern United States. The intricate illustration was created by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute and masterfully engraved by Coqueret for the comprehensive work "Traité des Arbres et Arbustes" (Treatise on Trees and Shrubs) by Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau, published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The Dahoon Holly is characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of small, white flowers that bloom in late spring. The tree can grow up to 30 feet tall and is an essential component of the coastal ecosystem, providing food and shelter for various wildlife species. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured stipple engraving showcases the intricate structure of the Dahoon Holly's leaves, as well as the delicate beauty of its flowers. The artistry of Redoute and Coqueret captures the essence of this native tree, providing a stunning representation of its natural form and beauty. The Traité des Arbres et Arbustes was a groundbreaking work in the field of botanical illustration, featuring over 800 plates of trees and shrubs from around the world. The collaboration between Duhamel du Monceau, Redoute, and Coqueret resulted in a comprehensive and visually stunning record of the natural world, which continues to inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of plants today. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, offering a glimpse into the natural history of the Dahoon Holly and the broader world of botanical discovery.
