EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured stipple engraving depicts the elegant Lime Tree, Tilia rotundifolia, captured in intricate detail by the skilled hands of Moret, after an original illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redoute. The image is taken from Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's comprehensive Traite des Arbres et Arbustes, published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The Lime Tree, also known as the Common Lime or Small-leaved Lime, is a beloved deciduous tree native to Europe and Western Asia. Its distinctive, slender silhouette and rounded, lobed leaves have made it a popular choice for landscaping and ornamental purposes. The tree's delicate, fragrant white flowers bloom in early summer, attracting a variety of pollinators and adding to the tree's allure. The meticulous technique of stipple engraving is evident in the intricate texture and shading of the Lime Tree's bark, leaves, and flowers. The process involves the use of a sharp tool, known as a stipple needle, to create tiny dots on a copper plate. These dots are then inked and pressed onto paper, resulting in a highly detailed, textured image. Redoute's original illustration, expertly translated into engraving by Moret, serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world. This print invites the viewer to appreciate the artistry and botanical precision of the past, while also celebrating the timeless allure of the Lime Tree.
