EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Oriental Gall Oak, Quercus infectoria" takes us back to the early 20th century in England. The print showcases the intricate illustration of a botanical plate featured in The Modern Boot and Shoe Maker magazine from 1917. The image depicts the Oriental Gall Oak tree, scientifically known as Quercus infectoria. This species is renowned for its nut galls, which are peculiar growths caused by insects on its branches. These nut galls were highly valued in the craft industry during that time period. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness the fusion of science and art as it beautifully captures every detail of this unique oak tree specimen. Its delicate leaves and distinct gall formations are meticulously portrayed through lithography techniques. This print not only serves as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent in boot and shoe making but also highlights the importance of natural history studies within various industries. It symbolizes modernity intertwined with traditional practices such as handiwork and guilds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to an era where skilled shoemakers transformed raw materials into exquisite footwear using their expertise passed down through generations. It reminds us of the rich heritage embedded within British culture while celebrating Europe's contribution to handicrafts. Let this stunning lithograph inspire you with its timeless beauty and appreciation for both nature's wonders and human ingenuity.
