Description
Antique print; pristine copper engraving Photographed on a black background. Printed 32 years before George Washington’s birth. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist, notable as the first to make a clear definition of the concept of genus for plants. He created a valuable classification system on individual species that became popular amongst botanists; nearly all classifications published for the next fifty years were based upon this. Tournefort’s collection of 6,963 specimens was housed in Paris, in Jardin du Roi; it is now part of the Museum National D’historie Naturelle. Copper Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto copper by cutting grooves into it. An impression is created on the copper plate, which is then filled with opaque ink. When paper is pressed into the plate, it creates raised and colored areas.
