"Preserving the Beauty of Nature: Treating Trees and Shrubs" Discover the enchanting world of trees and shrubs as we delve into the artful illustrations from Henri Louis Duhamel du Moncels' Treat des Arbres et Shrustes. First, let's admire the vibrant red berries adorning the Red Elderberry or Red-Berried Elder (Sambucus racemosa). This handcoloured stipple engraving by Miss Brenet captures its allure, reminding us of nature's wonders. Next, we encounter the majestic Largeleaf Linden Tree (Tilia platyphyllos), depicted in all its glory through a meticulous illustration by Pierre-Joseph Redoute himself. Its broad leaves and graceful stature make it a true gem in any landscape. Moving on to an exotic beauty, we are captivated by the Japanese Allspice (Chimonanthus praecox), also known as Calycanthus praecox. The delicate flowers portrayed in Moret's handcoloured stipple engraving transport us to distant lands with their intoxicating fragrance. In contrast, we encounter a tree that has earned itself various names - Tree of Heaven, Ailanthus or Chouchun (Ailanthus altissima/Aylanthus glandulosa). Moret's illustration showcases this resilient species that thrives even in challenging environments. The Dahoon Holly or Cassina (Ilex cassine) is another marvel showcased within these pages. Coqueret's handcoloured stipple engraving highlights its glossy foliage and bright red berries, adding elegance to any garden setting. Prepare to be enchanted by the Wild or Yellow Jasmine (Jasminum fruticans). Miss Brenet skillfully captures its delicate blooms against a backdrop of lush greenery – an invitation for bees and butterflies alike. Stepping into ancient folklore, we come across the English Yew Tree or European Yew (Taxus baccata).
