EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored stipple engraving depicts the enchanting Orange-ball-tree, or Buddleja globosa (Buddleja globiflora), a captivating botanical wonder from the early 19th century. The image is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redoute, skillfully rendered by Mlle. Brenet for Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's renowned botanical publication, "Traité des Arbres et Arbustes," published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The Orange-ball-tree, also known as the Orange Ball Buddleja, is a small, shrubby tree native to South America. Its unique allure lies in its vibrant, spherical clusters of orange-hued, pea-like flowers, which appear in abundance during the summer months. The tree's striking appearance has earned it a place in various botanical gardens and private collections around the world. The intricate details of the Orange-ball-tree's foliage and flowers are beautifully captured in this engraving, with each delicate petal and vein meticulously rendered through the stipple technique. The hand-coloring further enhances the image, adding depth and richness to the already stunning representation of this botanical marvel. This work of art serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the skill and dedication of the artists and scientists who documented and preserved it for future generations to appreciate. The Orange-ball-tree remains an enduring symbol of the enchantment and wonder that can be found in the smallest details of the natural world.
