Botanical Study of Plum and Cherry Blossoms and Fruits, 1805
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, part of Friedrich Johann Bertuch's *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1805, offers a detailed botanical illustration of plum and cherry trees. Designed to educate and delight, the engraving showcases the artistic and scientific accuracy for which Bertuch’s works are celebrated.
The plate includes representations of blooming branches and mature fruits, capturing both the delicate flowers and the ripened plums and cherries in vivid detail. The depiction features:
- A: A branch with a large, luscious plum alongside its glossy green leaves.
- B: A sprig of plum blossoms, with fine white petals and golden stamens, reflecting the tree's springtime vitality.
- Fig. 2a: Bright red cherries, ready for harvest, with their vibrant leaves.
- Fig. 2b and 2c: Delicate cherry blossoms and dark cherries, rendered with incredible precision.
These carefully crafted illustrations highlight the seasonal transformations of fruiting trees, making the engraving both an educational resource and an artistic treasure. Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* is renowned for its 1,200 engraved plates spanning natural history, mythology, and science, making this piece a rare glimpse into 19th-century scientific illustration.
