EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print showcases the beauty of two remarkable trees - the Varnish tree, also known as Ailanthus altissima, and the Wax tree, scientifically referred to as Rhus succedanea. The unknown artist skillfully depicts these botanical wonders in vibrant colors and intricate detail. The Varnish tree, with its graceful branches and delicate leaves, exudes an air of elegance. Its scientific name "Ailanthus altissima" translates to "tall ailanthus" emphasizing its impressive height. This deciduous tree is native to China but has spread across the globe due to its adaptability. Beside it stands the Wax tree or Rhus succedanea, a species renowned for producing a valuable wax-like substance used in varnishes. The artist captures this unique characteristic by showcasing clusters of small flowers that eventually transform into waxy fruits. This handcoloured copperplate engraving originates from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's esteemed work titled "Les dons merveilleux et diversement colories de la nature dans le regne vegetal". Published in Paris in 1783, this botanical masterpiece celebrates the extraordinary diversity found within plant life. As we gaze upon this enchanting print today, we are reminded of both the artistic talent behind its creation and the fascinating world of botany it represents. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to capture their essence through art.
