EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured stipple engraving depicts the Common Box, European Box, or Boxwood tree (Buxus sempervirens fruticosa), as illustrated by the renowned botanical artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute for Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's "Traite des Arbres et Arbustes" published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of the engraving bring to life the elegant form and glossy leaves of this evergreen shrub. The Common Box, a member of the Buxaceae family, is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is characterized by its small, oval leaves that are arranged in opposite pairs, and its dense, compact growth habit. The tree's name, sempervirens, means "evergreen" in Latin, reflecting its ability to retain its foliage year-round. The Boxwood tree has been valued for its ornamental and horticultural uses for centuries. Its dense, shrubby growth makes it an ideal plant for topiary, hedges, and formal gardens. The tree's hard, heavy wood was also highly prized for making musical instruments, such as the violin and the harpsichord. The engraving captures the beauty and versatility of this remarkable tree, showcasing its delicate form and intricate details. The handcoloured stipple technique adds depth and texture to the image, bringing out the subtle variations in colour and tone of the Boxwood tree's leaves. This stunning print is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrations produced during the 19th century.
