EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving from 1857 captures the delicate beauty of the Common white or grey poplar, Populus canescens. The intricate details of the leaf, branch, and sprout are brought to life through hand-colored stipple engraving by Pancrace Bessa and copperplate engraving by Gabriel. This botanical illustration is part of Francois Andre Michaux's "North American Sylva," a collection that showcases the native trees of America and Canada.
French botanist Michaux's exploration of America in the late 18th century led to the cataloging of numerous tree species, including this elegant poplar. The graceful lines and subtle colors in this print highlight the natural elegance of this common yet often overlooked tree.
The combination of artistry and scientific accuracy in this engraving makes it a true masterpiece. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty found in nature and the importance of preserving our forests for future generations to enjoy.
