EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, titled "Acer campestre L." or the Common Maple, is an original drawing by the renowned 18th century botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). The illustration is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Common Maple, also known as the English Maple or Field Maple, is a small to medium-sized tree belonging to the Sapindaceae family, specifically the order Sapindales and the subclass Rosids. This eudicot, angiosperm, and flowering plant is native to Europe and parts of Asia. Ehret's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning representation of the Acer campestre. The leaves, depicted with their distinctive palmate venation and five lobes, are shown in their vibrant autumn colors, adding a touch of autumnal beauty to the illustration. The tree's small, green flowers can be seen in the background, further emphasizing the plant's botanical features. As a member of the Malvidae family, the Common Maple shares characteristics with other eudicots, such as having a net-like secondary xylem structure and a dicotyledonous seed. This drawing serves as a testament to Ehret's exceptional artistic abilities and his significant contributions to the field of botanical illustration during the 18th century. The Common Maple remains an essential part of European flora and continues to captivate botanists, artists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
