EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the African bowstring hemp, Sansevieria hyacinthoides, also known as Commelin Aloes de Guinee or Sansevieria trifasciata 'Hahnii'. Dating back to 1783, this exquisite artwork is a masterpiece from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Herbier Artificial, a comprehensive collection of over fifteen hundred European and exotic plant plates. The intricate details of the African bowstring hemp's foliage are depicted, with the undulating, atro (dark) variegated leaves forming a striking contrast against the background. The engraving also features other plants native to Lebanon and the Mediterranean region, including the Cedar of Lebanon, Cedrus libani, and the Pinus (Pine) Linn or Cedre avec tous les details de sa fructification. The evergreen conifer is renowned for its iconic, tall, conical shape and its distinctive, cone-shaped seeds. Jean Victor Dupin junior was the talented engraver behind this piece. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines and vibrant colors used to bring these plants to life. The botanical illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the natural world and the artistic prowess of the time. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art, botany, or natural history. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the natural world as it was understood during the late 18th century.
