EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical print, titled "Pollard Aspen (Plate 2)" is an 18th-century illustration from "The Shape, Skeleton and Foliage of Thirty Two Species of Trees" by Alexander Cozens. The series was first published in 1771, with this particular plate being updated and reissued in 1786. The image showcases a Pollard Aspen tree, a type of Poplar tree belonging to the Salicaceae family, which is part of the larger group of flowering plants known as Angiosperms, Dicotyledons, or Eudicots. This tree is also classified under the order Malpighiales, the subclass Rosids, and the family Fabaceae. The Pollard Aspen depicted in this print is a pollard tree, meaning it has been deliberately managed through coppicing, a traditional method of tree cultivation where the tree is repeatedly cut back to stimulate new growth. This technique was commonly used in the past for various purposes, including fuel, timber, and livestock fodder. Cozens' meticulous illustration highlights the tree's intricate details, from its branching structure to the shape and arrangement of its leaves. The artist's skillful use of shading and attention to detail bring the tree to life, providing an accurate representation of its form and structure. This historic botanical print not only showcases the beauty of the Pollard Aspen but also offers a glimpse into the natural history and horticultural practices of the 18th century.
