EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the enchanting Pussy Willow, Salix caprea, also known as Goat Willow or Italian Willow. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The Pussy Willow is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree or large shrub, native to Europe and western Asia. Its most distinctive feature is its cat-like, fur-like catkins that appear before the leaves in early spring, giving the tree its common name. These fuzzy catkins are actually the male flowers of the plant. The illustration was engraved by Stanghi, under the direction of the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). Turpin is considered one of the greatest botanical illustrators of the 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and exceptional artistic skill. The Pussy Willow has historically been used for various medicinal purposes and as a source of food. The young shoots and catkins can be eaten raw or cooked, and were once considered a delicacy in Europe. In some parts of Europe, the branches were also used as a source of red dye. This beautiful illustration captures the essence of the Pussy Willow in all its glory, showcasing its intricate details and unique characteristics. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
