EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured stipple engraving depicts the enchanting Daphne mezereum, also known as Daphne or mezereon. The delicate beauty of this shrub is brilliantly captured in this intricately detailed print, created by the skilled hand of the French engraver Troll, working after an illustration by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute. Originally published in Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's comprehensive work "Traite des Arbres et Arbustes" between 1804 and 1819, this print showcases the Daphne mezereum in all its splendour. The mezereon is a charming evergreen shrub, native to Europe and western Asia, characterized by its clusters of small, fragrant, pink or white flowers that bloom in early spring. The Daphne mezereum is often referred to as the spurge laurel or the winter laurel due to its glossy, laurel-like leaves and its ability to bloom during the colder months. The plant's name, Daphne, is derived from the Greek mythological figure Daphne, who was transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous advances of Apollo. This print not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Troll and Redoute but also to the enduring allure of the natural world. The intricate stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of thousands of tiny dots to create shading and texture, adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing the delicate features of the Daphne mezereum to life. The rich colours of the handcolouring further enhance the print's beauty, adding vibrancy and depth to the flowers and leaves. This stunning work of art is a must-have for any botanical enthusiast, art collector, or anyone who appreciates the intricacies of nature and the artistry of the past.
