EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Nutmeg, plate 7" from the esteemed Collection Precieuse et Enluminee. Created by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz in the late 18th century, this colour engraving depicts a segment of a nutmeg spice, scientifically known as myristica fragrans. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this botanical illustration to life. The historical significance of this artwork is highlighted by its connection to Louis XV, who received it as a gift from M. Prevost, Commissioner of the Navy. This adds an intriguing layer to the story behind this piece. Displayed in a private collection and now part of The Stapleton Collection, this image offers viewers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France during that period. It serves as a testament to Buchoz's talent for capturing nature's beauty through his engravings. The inclusion of "Nutmeg" in Volume III signifies its importance among other precious items featured in Collection Precieuse et Enluminee. As we admire this enchanting print, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its historical value. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved and presented this remarkable artwork for us to appreciate today.
