EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Cotton, 1833-39" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of nature. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this print is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate beauty found in various species. Published in Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville's "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" this illustration captures our attention with its vibrant depiction of animals, plants, and reptiles. Among them are the cotton plant (Gossypium ssp. ), known for its soft fibers that have been used for centuries in textile production. The artwork also features a cuckoo bird (Coucou) perched on a branch and a garter snake (Couleuvre) slithering nearby. These creatures add movement and life to the composition while highlighting the diverse fauna present in their natural habitat. Executed using steel engraving techniques popular during that era, this print exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship. The delicate lines and intricate details bring each element to life, inviting viewers to explore every corner of this visual masterpiece. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now appreciate this historical artwork from ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's collection. As it falls under public domain due to being out of copyright restrictions, we can freely admire and delve into its rich symbolism without any commercial implications
