EDITORS COMMENTS
This botanical plate, dating back to the early 20th century, showcases a vivid array of both good and bad mushrooms. The colour lithograph print, preserved in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of mycology. The intricate illustration serves as an identification chart for mushroom enthusiasts and foragers alike. It presents a variety of species with detailed depictions that aid in distinguishing between edible and poisonous varieties. From the elegant Amanita to the vibrant Russula and lactarius fungi, each specimen is meticulously portrayed. This visual guide not only highlights the beauty found within nature's bounty but also emphasizes the importance of proper mushroom identification. Aspiring gatherers can now navigate through forests with confidence while picking their desired champignons bons et mauvais (good and bad mushrooms). The historical significance of this piece cannot be understated; it represents a valuable resource from a bygone era when people relied on wild mushrooms as part of their food supply. With its roots firmly planted in the 19th century, this print stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with these mysterious organisms. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images' collaboration, we are fortunate enough to witness this stunning snapshot from history – an exquisite fusion of artistry and scientific exploration that continues to captivate audiences today.
