EDITORS COMMENTS
or the Bristly Locust Tree, is a stunning botanical specimen depicted in this hand-colored etching from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, published in Paris in 1776. The tree, scientifically known as Robinia hispida, is a rare and intriguing beauty, with its unique bristly bark and vibrant pinkish-red hue. The etching captures the tree in all its splendor, with delicate branches adorned with small, pink flowers that resemble robin's eggs. The tree's bark is depicted in intricate detail, with its rough, bristly texture and mottled pink and brown coloration. The etching also showcases the tree's simple, palmate leaves, which add to its distinctive appearance. Buchoz's Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs was a groundbreaking work in the field of botanical illustration, featuring hand-colored etchings of exotic and rare plants from both China and Europe. This particular etching of the Bristly Locust Tree is a testament to Buchoz's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The tree's common name, "Bristly Locust Tree," refers to its rough, bristly bark, which is covered in small, sharp hairs. This texture makes the tree an interesting contrast to the delicate pink flowers that adorn it. The tree is native to China and is now cultivated in Europe and other parts of the world for its ornamental value. Overall, this hand-colored etching of the Bristly Locust Tree is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that showcases the natural beauty and diversity of the plant world. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of Pierre Joseph Buchoz and his contemporaries in the field of botanical illustration.
