EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14 from The Shape, Skeleton and Foliage of Thirty Two Species of Trees, published in 1786 by Alexander Cozens, offers a detailed and meticulously rendered illustration of a Larch Fir tree (Larix spp.). This historic botanical print is a testament to the fascination with the natural world that characterized the 18th century. Cozens, a renowned English botanical artist, created this series originally issued in 1771 to provide an accurate record of various tree species, their structural features, and foliage. The Larch Fir depicted in this illustration is a coniferous tree belonging to the Pinaceae family, specifically the genus Larix. This tree is unique among conifers as it is deciduous, shedding its needles annually. The tree's skeleton, or structural framework, is shown in the background, revealing its distinctive conical shape and branching pattern. The foreground focuses on the foliage, with the fine details of the needle-like leaves and cones accentuating the tree's botanical characteristics. As a member of the coniferous class, or Coniferophyta, and the order Pinales, the Larch Fir is a gymnosperm, meaning it produces naked seeds. Its scientific name, Larix, is derived from the Latin word for larch, which was used by the ancient Romans for this tree. This botanical print not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Larch Fir but also underscores the significant role that botanical illustrations played in the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 18th century.
