EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Toothed Azara, Azara dentata, a captivating species of tree belonging to the Olive family, Oleaceae. The botanical illustration was originally published in Sydenham Edwards' esteemed publication, The Botanical Register, in London, in 1835, by the renowned Ridgway printing firm. The intricate details of the Toothed Azara's leaves, flowers, and bark are beautifully rendered in this engraving, providing an accurate and detailed record of the plant's appearance. The Toothed Azara, native to South America, is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall. Its leaves are ovate or elliptic in shape, with serrated edges, as depicted in the illustration. The tree produces small, white, fragrant flowers in clusters, which bloom in the spring. The fruit of the Toothed Azara is a drupe, resembling a cherry, and is edible. The history of botanical illustration is an essential part of the scientific record, providing a visual representation of plants that was crucial for the identification and classification of new species. The Botanical Register, published between 1820 and 1843, was a leading publication in this field, showcasing high-quality botanical illustrations of plants from around the world. This particular engraving of the Toothed Azara is a testament to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time, and remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation today.
