EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Le faux vernix" or the false varnish tree, showcases the striking beauty of the Varnish Tree or Wax Tree (Ailanthus altissima, syn. Rhus succedanea, Albonia peregrina, Nobis, Rhus succedaneum, or Linn.) as depicted in Pierre Joseph Buchoz's botanical masterpiece, "Les dons merveilleux et diversement colories de la nature dans le règne végétal" published in Paris in 1783. The tree, also known as the Italian maple, opal maple, or lerable, is native to China and was introduced to Europe in the late 17th century. The Varnish Tree derives its common names from the sticky, resinous substance that covers its leaves, twigs, and bark, giving them a wax-like appearance. The tree's attractive foliage is a vibrant green in the summer, turning yellow in the fall. The tree's flowers are small, greenish-yellow, and appear in clusters. The intricately detailed engraving captures the tree's unique features, from its twisted trunk and sprawling branches to its glossy leaves and delicate flowers. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness, bringing the tree to life on the page. Buchoz's "Les dons merveilleux et diversement colories de la nature dans le règne végétal" was a groundbreaking work in the field of botanical illustration. The publication marked a significant step forward in the use of hand-coloring in botanical engravings, allowing for a more accurate representation of the natural world and adding an artistic touch to the scientific study of plants. This beautiful and intriguing image of the Varnish Tree serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, and remains an enduring example of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
