EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1792, showcases two essential crops of the Old World: the Coffee tree (Coffea arabica 1) and the Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum 2). The image captures the natural beauty and richness of these plants, which have long played significant roles in global agriculture and trade. The Coffee tree, depicted here with ripe fruit, is the source of the popular beverage enjoyed by millions around the world. The tree's white flowers bloom before producing the cherries, which contain the precious coffee beans. The beans are then roasted and ground to create the aromatic brew that has become an integral part of daily life for many. Sugar cane, on the other hand, is the primary source of sugar, a sweetener essential for both culinary and industrial applications. The tall, robust plant is shown here with its stalks laden with juice-filled canes. The canes are harvested, crushed, and the resulting juice is boiled to produce crystallized sugar. Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder was an educational encyclopedia designed to teach children about the natural world. This illustration, with its meticulous attention to detail, serves as a testament to the artistic and educational merits of such works, which played a crucial role in fostering an appreciation for the wonders of nature during the late 18th century.
