EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored stipple engraving depicts Pieris mariana, also known as Andromeda mariana, Andromeda du Maryland, fetterbush, or la poupée (the doll), a beautiful native shrub from North America. The engraving is based on an illustration by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute and was created by the skilled engraver Renard for Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's Traité des Arbres et Arbustes (Treatise on Trees and Shrubs), published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. Pieris mariana is a small evergreen shrub that typically grows to be between 1.5 to 3 meters tall. It is native to the eastern United States, from Newfoundland to Florida and west to Oklahoma. The shrub is named after Pierre Pierres, a French botanist, and is commonly called fetterbush due to its fetter-like root system. The engraving captures the delicate beauty of the Pieris mariana in all its glory, with its white, bell-shaped flowers adorning the shrub in early spring. The intricate stipple engraving technique used by Renard brings out the fine details of the shrub's leaves, veins, and flowers, making it a true work of art. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. The Pieris mariana plays an essential role in the ecosystem, providing food and shelter for various insects and birds. Its attractive flowers also add beauty to gardens and landscapes, making it a popular ornamental plant. This engraving is not only a testament to the beauty of the Pieris mariana but also a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge and artistic skill of the past.
