EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the Pernambuco tree, a majestic species with significant industrial uses. The image takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century when this Liebig card was published as part of an educational series on various trees and their practical applications. In this particular scene, we witness the arduous process of transporting Pernambuco tree trunks for processing. Brazilian workers can be seen diligently loading these valuable logs onto an ox cart, highlighting the labor-intensive nature of the timber industry during that time. The print not only captures the physicality of this trade but also emphasizes its importance in South American society. The Pernambuco tree's wood was highly sought after due to its exceptional quality and versatility in industries such as construction and manufacturing. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into how scientific methods were employed to study botany and natural history. This visual documentation serves as a testament to mankind's curiosity about plant life and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in fields like botany and forestry. Overall, this intriguing artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and humanity's ingenuity in harnessing its resources for progress.
