EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" captures the beauty of two lesser-known fruits - the Cornelian cherry and common medlar. The intricate details of the fruit, leaves, and blossoms are brought to life with vibrant colors that make them appear almost lifelike. The Cornelian cherry, also known as wild dogwood or male Cornus mas, is depicted in all its glory with its bright red berries and delicate white flowers. This fruit has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its health benefits and unique flavor. Next to it, we see the common medlar, also known as German Mespilus germanica, with its unusual shape and brownish-red color. This fruit may not be as well-known as others, but it has a rich history dating back to ancient times when it was prized for its sweet taste. Friedrich Johann Bertuch's attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, showcasing his talent as both a publisher and man of arts. Through his work, he has preserved these botanical specimens for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate their beauty and significance in nature.
