EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Common Hoptree, scientifically known as Ptelea trifoliata or Ptelea di tre foglie. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The illustration, directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, highlights the intricate details of this remarkable plant. Turpin himself is celebrated as one of the most talented French botanical illustrators of his time. Also referred to as Wafer Ash, Stinking Ash, or Skunk Bush due to its distinctive odor when crushed, the Common Hoptree holds significant importance in botany and natural history studies. Its edible fruits add another layer of fascination to this species. This stunning botanical illustration serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. The meticulous attention given to every leaf and fruit demonstrates Corsi's dedication to capturing nature's wonders with precision. Bridgeman Images presents this print for all admirers of flora and those fascinated by botanical science. It invites viewers into a world where art meets knowledge—a realm where plants are not just mere vegetation but living marvels worthy of admiration and study.
