EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Chinese Elm, Ulmus parvifolia, also known as the Lacebark Elm or Ulmus chinensis. The illustration is taken from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, or Dictionary of Natural Science, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The engraving was produced by Carini, under the direction of the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The Chinese Elm is a deciduous tree native to China and is characterized by its intricately patterned bark, which is a major source of its ornamental appeal. The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall and has a spreading crown. Its leaves are small, oval, and have a serrated edge. The tree is also known for its edible fruit, which is round, about the size of a wafer, and has a bitter taste, sometimes described as resembling the smell of a skunk. The Chinese Elm is in the same family as the common elm (Ulmus) and the hop tree (Ptelea trifoliata). The tree's scientific name, Ulmus parvifolia, means "small-leaved elm." The Chinese Elm is an important tree in Chinese culture and has been used for various purposes, including medicinal and ornamental uses. This beautiful illustration showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of Turpin, who is considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century. The intricate stipple engraving technique used to create the image adds depth and texture, making the Chinese Elm's unique features stand out. This illustration is not only a testament to the beauty of the Chinese Elm but also a significant contribution to the history of botany and botanical illustration.
