1. Title: Black Pine or Austrian Pine - A Natural Beauty Unveiled This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving, created by Oudet after Edouard Maubert's botanical illustration, showcases the captivating beauty of the Black Pine or Austrian Pine, scientifically known as Pinus nigra subsp. laricio, Pinus laricio, or Pin laricio. This magnificent tree is a native of the Mediterranean region, extending from southern Europe to northwestern Africa. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the tree's distinctive features, including its long, slender needles, which are dark green in color and can grow up to 15 centimeters in length. The tree's bark is covered in thick, reddish-brown scales, providing excellent protection against harsh weather conditions. The cones, which are not visible in this illustration, are small, oval-shaped, and contain both male and female seeds. Black Pine or Austrian Pine is renowned for its durability and resistance to pests and diseases, making it an ideal choice for planting in various climates. Its wood is highly valued for its strength and versatility, making it a popular choice for lumber and timber production. This stunning engraving is an impressive testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the natural world, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the Black Pine or Austrian Pine in all its glory. The engraving is taken from "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres," a comprehensive botanical work published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The work was published by L. Guerin in Paris. This engraving is a valuable addition to any botanical collection, providing a window into the natural world of the past.
