EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving depicts Winters Bark, also known as Canelo or Drimys winteri, an aromatic evergreen tree native to South America. The illustration was created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Lebrun for the publication "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq in Paris between 1864 and 1871. Winters Bark is a small tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall and is characterized by its smooth, gray bark and glossy, dark green leaves. The tree is named for its bark, which was traditionally used by indigenous peoples for various medicinal purposes. The bark was also used as a source of tannin for leather production. The tree is native to Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, and grows in mountainous regions and along the coast. The illustration captures the tree's intricate details, including its small, white flowers and red berries. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, highlighting the tree's beautiful foliage and the contrast between its bark and the surrounding greenery. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous botanical illustration techniques of the 19th century, which allowed for the accurate documentation and preservation of plant specimens for scientific and medicinal purposes. The intricate details captured in this image provide a window into the natural world of the past and offer a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of South America.
