The work is a testament to Catesby's dedication to natural history and his meticulous approach to scientific illustration.

Mark Catesby embarked on his first expedition to North America in 1712, spending several years in Virginia and the Carolinas. His observations and collections during this period laid the groundwork for his later publications.

Each entry in the collection includes both the scientific and common names of the trees, along with descriptions of their physical characteristics, habitats, and uses.

The illustrations in "Hortus Europae Americanus" are particularly noteworthy for their accuracy and artistic quality. Catesby was a skilled artist, and his ability to capture the intricate details of each tree species contributed significantly to the scientific value of his work. His illustrations were often accompanied by notes on the ecological and economic importance of the trees, reflecting the broader context of their significance.

Catesby's work was influential in the field of botany and natural history, providing European scientists and horticulturists with valuable information about the plant life of the New World. "Hortus Europae Americanus" remains an important historical document, offering insights into the early scientific exploration of North America's natural resources.
