EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Herbs and vegetables, plantes condimentaires et fruits legumieres," is a stunning botanical representation of various herbs, vegetables, and fruits, created by the skilled hands of Corbie, based on the original illustration by Edouard Maubert. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring to life a bountiful harvest of fresh produce, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The engraving features an array of herbs and vegetables commonly used for seasoning and culinary purposes during the late 19th century. The top row showcases corn, Zea mais, and the long, curved cucumber, Cucumis sativus. Below, the fiery peppers, Capsicum annuum, add a burst of color and heat, while the round, juicy tomatoes, Solanum lycopersicum, complete the row. The lower row introduces the caper bush, Capparis spinosa, with its small, spiky leaves and the distinctive capers, and the Indian cress, Tropaeolum majus, with its vibrant orange and yellow flowers. The intricate details of each plant's leaves, stems, and fruits are rendered with remarkable precision, making this engraving a true testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time. Originally published in Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive botanical work, "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," this engraving serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of preserving the knowledge of the natural world for future generations.
