EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9 from The Shape, Skeleton and Foliage of Thirty Two Species of Trees, published in 1786 by Alexander Cozens, offers a detailed and meticulous illustration of a Cedar tree. This historic botanical print, originally issued in 1771, showcases the tree's elegant coniferous form, a testament to Cozens' exceptional skill as a botanical artist. Cedrus, a genus of coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae, is characterized by its distinctive shape and evergreen foliage. The Cedar tree, depicted in this illustration, is a prime example of the beauty and intricacy of coniferous plants. With its tall, columnar form and scaly, gray bark, the tree exudes an air of grandeur and resilience. The illustration provides a glimpse into the 18th century's fascination with botany and the natural world. Cozens' work, as part of the larger series, was instrumental in advancing the scientific understanding of tree species and their classification. His precise and accurate depiction of the Cedar tree's anatomy, including its skeletal structure and foliage, was a significant contribution to the field of botanical illustration. As a member of the coniferophyta division, conifers, such as the Cedar tree, are gymnosperms, meaning they produce naked seeds. The Pinopsida class, to which Cedrus belongs, is further divided into the subclass Pinales, which includes the pine, spruce, fir, and cedar trees. This illustration offers a unique and valuable perspective on the botanical history of the Cedar tree and the broader world of coniferous plants. The intricate details and accurate representation of the Cedar tree in Plate 9 from The Shape, Skeleton and Foliage of Thirty Two Species of Trees, make it a captivating and essential addition to any botanical collection.
