EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of a Black birch or cherry birch tree, scientifically known as Betula lenta. The image is a handcoloured lithograph by Endicott, based on a botanical illustration from John Torrey's renowned work, "A Flora of the State of New York" published in Albany in 1843. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the remarkable skill and precision of both the draughtsman and engraver involved. The delicate strokes bring to life the various features of this majestic tree species native to North America.
