EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Vegetable and salad leaves, herbes potageres et pour salades," is a stunning representation of various edible plants from the 19th century. The illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Corbie, was originally published in Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work, "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," published by L. Guerin in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The intricately detailed image showcases an array of vegetables and salad leaves, including American black nightshade (Solanum americanum, Solanum nigrum), New Zealand spinach (Tetragona expansa), pokeweed (Phytolacca decandra), purslane (Portulaca oleracea), and Indian lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata). These plants were commonly grown in the potager, or kitchen garden, for their culinary uses. American black nightshade, also known as black nightshade or common nightshade, is a versatile plant with edible leaves and fruit. New Zealand spinach, or tetragon, is a succulent leafy vegetable that is native to New Zealand and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Pokeweed, or poke sallet, is a Southern staple that is typically harvested before the berries develop and is often prepared with bacon or other strong flavors to counteract its natural bitterness. Purslane, or portulaca, is a succulent plant with fleshy leaves that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients. Indian lettuce, or claytonia, is a cool-season vegetable with tender, heart-shaped leaves and is often used in salads or as a cooked vegetable. This beautiful engraving is not only a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also a fascinating glimpse into the horticultural practices and culinary traditions of the past. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these plants to life, making this a must-have for any botanical art collection.
