EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured stipple engraving depicts the Largeleaf Linden Tree, Tilia platyphyllos, a majestic and iconic tree native to Europe. The illustration is based on an original drawing by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute and was published in Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's comprehensive work "Traite des Arbres et Arbustes" between 1804 and 1819. Duhamel du Monceau's treatise was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the most accurate and detailed botanical illustrations of its time, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and artists alike. The Largeleaf Linden Tree is easily recognizable by its large, broad leaves, which are green on the top and downy white on the underside. The tree is also known as the Largeleaf Lime or the Broadleaf Linden, and it is a popular ornamental tree due to its attractive foliage and fragrant flowers. The tree can grow up to 30 meters tall and has a spreading crown, making it a magnificent sight in parks and gardens. The tree's flowers are small, fragrant, and yellow, and they bloom in late spring. The Largeleaf Linden Tree is also an important source of timber and has medicinal properties. The handcoloured stipple engraving by Du Ruisseau captures the intricate details of the Largeleaf Linden Tree's leaves, bark, and flowers with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The use of stipple engraving, a technique that involves using a sharp point to dot ink onto the paper, adds texture and depth to the illustration, bringing the tree to life in a way that a simple drawing or photograph cannot. This beautiful and intricate print is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and scientists of the past, who sought to document and preserve the natural world for future generations.
