About the Item

This hand-colored copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), first published in 1805, showcases a detailed botanical illustration of apple and pear trees. The illustration includes four figures representing both the blossoms and fruits of these trees. The top portion of the engraving features the blossoms of the apple and pear trees, each delicately depicted with white and pale pink flowers, emphasizing their intricate petal structures and subtle gradations of color. Beneath the blossoms, the fruits of both trees are shown, with the pear on the left and the apple on the right, each rendered with remarkable attention to detail. The leaves of both trees are beautifully shaded in a combination of green hues, adding a sense of depth and realism to the composition. The craftsmanship of the artist and the skillful hand-coloring make this engraving a true example of 18th-century botanical illustration. Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* was a work aimed at educating children about the natural world, offering detailed and accurate representations of plants and animals, combined with a whimsical style that appeals to all ages. This engraving reflects the importance of botanical knowledge in the late 18th century, showcasing the apple and pear as key species in European horticulture and agriculture. The overall composition of the engraving offers a sense of both artistic beauty and scientific precision, making it a valuable historical and artistic document. The attention to detail and fine coloring present a captivating study of these two beloved fruit trees. Condition Report: The engraving shows minor wear with some light foxing and edge discoloration, but the colors are vibrant, and the image remains sharp.
