EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the exquisite beauty of Bayberry, also known as Morella pubescens. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, is a testament to Turpin's mastery as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. Bayberry, with its various names such as bay-rum tree, candleberry, sweet gale or wax-myrtle, has long fascinated botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. This illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science) beautifully captures the intricate details of this remarkable plant. The image highlights the fruit-bearing aspect of Bayberry - small clusters of berries that are not only visually appealing but also hold significance in culinary and medicinal applications. Its edible properties make it a valuable addition to our understanding of natural food sources. Meticulously engraved by Mlle le Roy using stipple techniques on copperplate, this artwork exudes elegance and precision.
