EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Bay Laurel, 1833-39" takes us back to the 19th century and showcases the exquisite beauty of nature. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this artwork is part of a private collection. The print originates from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a publication by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville between 1833 and 1839. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to explore various aspects of natural history through stunning illustrations like this one. Intricately detailed, the engraving depicts several species related to bay laurel: Kampher (camphor), Sassafras, Laurier camphrier (common laurel), Laurier commun (bay laurel), and Laurier sassafras. The plants are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors using the technique of steel engraving. Laurus nobilis (bay laurel) symbolizes victory and honor since ancient times. Its leaves were used to create crowns for poets and athletes in ancient Greece. Additionally, Cinnamomum camphora (camphor) has been widely utilized for its aromatic properties throughout history. This remarkable print not only captures the essence of these botanical wonders but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's diversity.
