EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the European Silver Berry, or Oleaster, Elaeagnus angustifolia. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The engraving was produced by the skilled hands of Schmelz, with direction from the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The Silver Berry, also known as Olivier de Bohème, is a shrub or small tree native to Europe, western Asia, and northwestern Africa. Its silvery-gray leaves and small, edible, olive-like berries make it a distinctive and attractive addition to gardens. The plant is often found near water and is sometimes referred to as the "wand of loosestrife," due to its association with the common water plant Lythrum virgatum. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases the Silver Berry's delicate flowers, which bloom in clusters and are typically white or pink. The plant is also shown with affinity to the Salicaria family, further highlighting its botanical classification. Turpin is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, and his work continues to be admired for its accuracy and beauty. This engraving, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to his skill and dedication to capturing the natural world in all its splendor.
