EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Manicheel tree, also known as Poison Guava, dating back to c1795. Native to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, this tree possesses an alluring appearance with its vibrant fruits and lush leaves. However, beneath its enticing exterior lies a deadly secret - these fruits are highly poisonous. The history surrounding this tree is both intriguing and cautionary. Spanish Conquistadors met their demise after consuming the fruit, while Carib Indians ingeniously utilized the sap for crafting poisoned arrows. This serves as a reminder of nature's ability to conceal danger within beauty. The image captures the essence of this toxic plant in stunning detail. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate feature - from the vivid coloration of the fruit to the delicate structure of each leaf. It transports us back to the 18th century when Central America was abundant with such natural wonders. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Caribbean seas, this engraving evokes a sense of awe and respect for Mother Nature's power. It serves as a testament to her ability to create both life-sustaining and lethal elements within our environment. Preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures, this historical print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides insight into geographical features that have shaped our world throughout centuries past.
