EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and diversity of two mushroom species: the Penny bun or porcini mushroom (Boletus edulis) and the lurid bolete (Suillellus luridus, Boletus perniciosus). The image, a handcoloured steel engraving by Pierre after a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, is part of a collection called "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" published in Paris between 1864-1871. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the importance of these mushrooms in both medical botany and agriculture during the 19th century. While one can appreciate their aesthetic appeal, it's crucial to note that not all mushrooms are safe for consumption. This print serves as a reminder that some species can be toxic if ingested. The composition beautifully portrays these fungi against a backdrop of trees and shrubs, emphasizing their natural habitat. The vibrant colors used in the handcolouring process further enhance their visual impact. Through this image, we gain insight into how botanical art played an essential role in documenting plant species for scientific purposes while also celebrating their inherent beauty. It represents an era when industrial advancements were merging with traditional agricultural practices. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the rich history of herbal medicine and our ever-evolving understanding of nature's wonders.
