EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Box tree, Buxus sempervirens, a small evergreen shrub or tree native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. The Box tree is renowned for its versatile and durable timber, which has been used for centuries for various purposes, including making fine furniture, intricate carvings, and even musical instruments. The illustration is taken from Richard Duppa's seminal work, "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published in London by Longman, Hurst in 1816. Duppa, a skilled botanical illustrator, meticulously captured the essential features of the Box tree, from its compact, glossy leaves to its small, insignificant flowers, which bloom in late spring or early summer. The plant is shown in its natural habitat, with a few flowers and fruits present, adding to the overall charm and accuracy of the illustration. The Box tree's botanical name, Buxus sempervirens, translates to "evergreen box," reflecting its ability to retain its foliage throughout the year. The species name, sempervirens, also signifies the tree's longevity, as it can live for several hundred years. The Box tree's hardiness and adaptability have made it a popular choice for hedges, topiary, and formal gardens, adding structure and elegance to landscapes for centuries. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigour of the Linnaean system of botanical classification, which revolutionized the way plants were identified, named, and categorized. The intricate details of the Box tree's anatomy, as captured by Duppa, serve as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the plant kingdom.
