EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print, titled "Cassava (Jatropha manihot)" by Delahaye, takes us back to the 18th century and immerses us in the world of botany. The delicate white background allows the vibrant colors of this tropical plant to truly shine. With its intricate leaves and sturdy stem, the cassava plant is beautifully captured in this illustration. Delahaye's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery as an artist. This botanical artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into the biology and anatomy of plants from that era. The Cassava plant itself holds great significance as it was widely cultivated for its starchy tuberous roots which served as a staple food source in many tropical regions. Its historical importance makes this painting even more captivating. Displayed vertically with no people present, this watercolor print invites viewers to appreciate nature's beauty on their own terms. It stands out among other illustrations and paintings due to its unique subject matter and meticulous execution. This particular piece comes from Florindie ou Historie physico-economique des vegetaux de la Torride, published in 1789. It showcases Delahaye's talent for capturing botanical wonders through artistry while providing valuable scientific documentation
