EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Seagrape or Baygrape tree, Coccoloba uvifera, as illustrated in Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Corsi and drawn and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator, Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The Seagrape tree is a small evergreen shrub or tree, native to the Caribbean and Central and South America. It is also known by various other names, including elder, elderberry, black elder, European elder, common elder, sambucus nigra, sambuco nero, and uva marina. The tree is characterized by its glossy green leaves and clusters of small, edible, dark purple to black fruit. The history of the Seagrape tree goes back to ancient times, with records of its use by indigenous peoples in the Caribbean for food, medicine, and dye. The fruit was also used to make a refreshing drink, which gave the tree its common name, "Seagrape," as it was often found growing near the sea. Turpin's meticulous illustration captures the intricate details of the Seagrape tree, from its slender branches to the delicate veining on its leaves and the clusters of fruit. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the rich hues of the tree's foliage and fruit. Turpin's skill as a botanical illustrator is evident in the precise and detailed rendering of the tree, making this a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
