EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Indian Almond Tree, or Terminalia catappa, also known as the Malabar Almond, Bayberry Tree, or Candleberry Tree. The illustration is taken from the Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Sciences, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The meticulous illustration was drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840), with engraving by Stanghi. The Indian Almond Tree is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a large, evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters tall. The tree is known for its edible, round, brown fruits that resemble almonds, but are not related to the true almond. The fruits are often used in traditional Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine, and are a source of food for various animals. The tree is also known for its sweet gum, which is used as a substitute for gum arabic, and its wax, which is used in making candles and in traditional medicine. The Indian Almond Tree is also known by various other names, including Bayberry Tree, due to the aromatic bay-like leaves, and Sweet Gale, due to the sweet-smelling gum. In some regions, it is also known as the Candleberry Tree, due to the use of its wax for making candles. The tree is also known by the names Morella pubescens, Myrica arguta, Cirier Dents-de-lion, Mille Feuille, and Mlle Le Roy. Turpin is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, and his illustrations are highly sought after by collectors and researchers for their exceptional detail and accuracy. This beautiful engraving is a testament to his skill and dedication to accurately depicting the natural world.
