EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cassis" showcases the intricate beauty of a 19th-century botanical illustration. The print, part of a private collection, is attributed to the French School and was featured in the renowned Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury. The image transports us back to a time when scientific exploration and natural history were at their peak. With meticulous detail, the engraver captures the essence of a blackcurrant plant, showcasing its delicate leaves and clusters of ripe berries. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insight into botany and food supply during that era. The monochromatic palette adds depth to the composition while emphasizing every minute feature with precision. It's fascinating how this centuries-old print continues to evoke wonder even today.
