EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching, titled "Le petit Kalmia, Mountain Laurel, Kalmia latifolia," is a beautiful and intricate depiction of the Mountain Laurel flower from the esteemed collection "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," compiled by Pierre Joseph Buchoz in Paris during the year 1776. The Mountain Laurel, also known as Kalmia latifolia, is a native flowering shrub of the eastern United States, bearing showy, fragrant, and vibrant pink to white flowers. The delicate beauty of this flower is captured in this impressive etching, which showcases the intricate details of its petals, veins, and the tiny moth perched on one of the blooms. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. The Mountain Laurel was a popular ornamental plant in both Chinese and European gardens during the 18th century, and this etching serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and allure. This rare and valuable print offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the exquisite detail and craftsmanship of the time.
