EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Majestic Lebanon Cedar Tree: A Botanical Marvel from the Past" This exquisite handcoloured woodblock print showcases the grandeur of the Lebanon Cedar Tree, scientifically known as Cedrus libani. The print is a beautiful reproduction of an original illustration by Giorgio Liberale, as featured in Pietro Andrea Mattioli's "Discorsi di P.A. Matthioli ne i sei libri della Materia Medicinale di Pedacio Dioscoride Anazarbeo," published in Venice in 1568. The intricate woodblock print was later hand-colored by Wolfgang Meyerpick. The Lebanon Cedar Tree is a native evergreen conifer species found primarily in the eastern Mediterranean region, particularly in Lebanon and parts of Syria. This tree has held significant cultural and historical importance for thousands of years due to its majestic appearance and valuable wood. The tree's wood was highly prized for its durability and aroma, making it a popular choice for constructing temples, palaces, and ships. The illustration captures the tree's distinctive features, including its pyramidal shape, scaly bark, and small, fan-shaped leaves. The intricate details of the tree's branches and cones are also beautifully rendered, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of the woodblock print. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic skills of the past but also provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Lebanon Cedar Tree. The Lebanon Cedar Tree continues to be an essential part of the Mediterranean ecosystem and is now protected as a national symbol and heritage tree in Lebanon. This stunning woodblock print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world's beauty and diversity.
