EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Bushwillow, scientifically known as Combretum coccineum. Taken by Stanghi in the 19th century, this image is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The illustration was expertly engraved by Schmelz and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, who is hailed as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. The Bushwillow, also referred to as Chigomier a fleurs rouges, mesmerizes with its vibrant red flowers and intricate details captured in this artwork.
