EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Brown-beard sugarbush and olm. 1824-1829" showcases the intricate beauty of nature in the 19th century. Created by Adolph Fries, a renowned engraver from France, this print is part of a private collection. The image features two fascinating organisms: the Brown-beard sugarbush (Protea speciosa) and the olm or proteus (Proteus anguinus). Both are meticulously handcoloured to highlight their unique characteristics. The Brown-beard sugarbush, with its delicate petals and vibrant hues, stands tall alongside the olm—a mysterious amphibian known for its adaptability to cave environments. This artwork originates from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles' Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published between 1834 and 1839 in Paris. It exemplifies the scientific exploration prevalent during that era. The engraving not only captures these remarkable creatures but also reflects advancements in zoology and botany during the early XIX century. Its inclusion in a French publication further emphasizes France's rich history in natural sciences. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to an era where scientific methods were evolving rapidly. The attention to detail showcased by Fries reminds us of our fascination with wildlife and plants throughout history. Overall, this enchanting print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity—an exquisite blend that continues to inspire us today.
