EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored stipple engraving depicts the Eastern Baccharis, scientifically known as Baccharis halimifolia, also referred to as groundsel bush, sea myrtle, or saltbush. The image is an intricate representation of the plant's delicate features, captured through the skillful artistry of Mlle. Brenet, with the original illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redoute. The Eastern Baccharis is a shrub native to the eastern coast of North America, from Newfoundland to Florida and south to Texas. It is characterized by its small, yellow flowers that bloom in dense clusters, giving the plant an appearance of being covered in golden blossoms. The leaves are small, narrow, and oblong, with a silvery-gray coating that provides the plant with an elegant, textured appearance. The Eastern Baccharis was highly regarded by the indigenous peoples of North America for its medicinal properties. The plant was used to treat various ailments, including respiratory issues and digestive problems. It was also used as a source of food, with the leaves and young shoots being consumed as a vegetable. This engraving is a stunning example of the botanical illustrations produced during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Eastern Baccharis to life, providing a window into the natural world of over two centuries ago. The work of Mlle. Brenet and Pierre-Joseph Redoute continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art.
