EDITORS COMMENTS
Arbutus unedo, commonly known as the strawberry tree, is a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. This exquisite handcoloured etching of the strawberry tree, titled "Le petit Arbousier des Alpes" or "The Little Strawberry Tree of the Alps," is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Collection Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses," published in Paris in 1776. The etching showcases the delicate beauty of the strawberry tree, with its glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of small, white flowers. The tree is depicted in a naturalistic setting, with rocks and stones at its base, adding to the sense of authenticity and realism. The intricate details of the leaves, bark, and flowers are beautifully rendered, making this a fine example of 18th-century botanical illustration. The strawberry tree is not related to the strawberry fruit, but rather takes its name from the small, red, edible structures that appear at the base of its leaves. These structures, which are actually modified leaves, are rich in nutrients and were once used as a source of food for both humans and animals. Today, the tree is cultivated for its attractive foliage and ornamental value, and it can be found in gardens throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. This handcoloured etching provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. With its intricate details and vibrant colours, it is a true work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
