EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when herbarium plants were meticulously dried on large bamboo clays before being classified and stored by a doctor. The engraving, created by Eugene Burnand, beautifully illustrates the story of Laos and the wild populations of Indochina as told by Doctor Harmand in 1877. In this image, we witness the doctor's dedication to preserving botanical knowledge through his careful handling of various plants. Each plant is delicately placed on the bamboo clay, allowing them to dry naturally before they are sorted into crates for storage. This process showcases not only the doctor's expertise but also highlights the manufacturing technology used during that time period. Published in 1879 under the direction of Edouard Charton in Paris, this engraving offers a glimpse into an era where scientific exploration was highly valued. It is part of the Selva Collection and serves as a testament to Leonard de Selva's passion for capturing historical moments through photography. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate its significance in documenting Asian knowledge, particularly within botanical studies and natural history. Through Burnand's skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail, we are transported back to an age where curiosity about different cultures and their flora thrived.
