1780 Botanist Bulliard Cherries Cherry Herb Herbal Herbier Laurel Laurocerasus Pierre Prunus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Cherry Laurel tree, Prunus laurocerasus, as captured by the skilled hand of French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard in 1780. The illustration is part of Bulliard's esteemed Herbier de France collection, published in Paris. The Cherry Laurel tree is a captivating evergreen shrub, known for its glossy, dark green leaves that resemble those of the Bay Laurel, from which it derives its common name. In this stunning depiction, Bulliard masterfully highlights the tree's delicate branches adorned with clusters of black cherries, adding a delightful contrast to the lush green foliage. The Cherry Laurel tree is not to be confused with the edible Cherry tree, as its black cherries are inedible and mildly toxic. However, its attractive appearance and ease of cultivation have made it a popular ornamental plant for gardens and landscapes. Bulliard's meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this illustration, which transports us back in time to the world of 18th-century botanical exploration. The intricate lines, delicate shading, and vibrant colors bring the Cherry Laurel tree to life, providing a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration.
