EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Manchineel or Manchioneel tree, also known as Hippomane mancinella or Mancenillier. The image is a handcoloured steel engraving created by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert in the 19th century. It was featured in Pierre Oscar Reveil's botanical publication, "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" which explored various aspects of medical botany. The tree depicted in this artwork holds great significance due to its toxic nature. The fruit of the Manchineel tree is highly poisonous and should never be consumed. Its botanical illustration serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers that can lurk within seemingly innocent plants. Despite its toxicity, this shrub-like plant has found industrial uses throughout history. In agricultural practices, it has been utilized for farming purposes. However, it is important to handle this tree with care due to its harmful properties. The vibrant colors used in this handcoloured engraving bring out the beauty and intricacy of each detail captured by Maubert's skilled hand. This artistic representation not only highlights the aesthetic appeal of botanical art but also provides valuable insight into the diverse flora found around us. With its historical context and scientific relevance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistry and knowledge simultaneously.
