EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases two varieties of the Field Mushroom, Agaricus campestris and Agaricus edulis, captured in intricate detail by the skilled hand of French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard. The illustration is taken from Bulliard's seminal work, Herbier de la France, published in Paris in 1780. The Field Mushroom, also known as the Common Mushroom or the Meadow Mushroom, is a widely distributed and popular edible fungus. Agaricus campestris and Agaricus edulis are two closely related species, with Agaricus edulis being the more commonly cultivated and consumed variety. Both species are depicted in this enchanting illustration, showcasing their distinctive cap, gills, and stem. Bulliard's Herbier de la France was a groundbreaking work in the field of botanical illustration. The publication marked a significant milestone in the history of botany, as it was one of the first comprehensive works to document the flora of France. Bulliard's meticulous attention to detail and his innovative use of hand-coloring techniques brought the plants to life, making the work a treasure trove of botanical knowledge for generations to come. This stunning illustration is a testament to Bulliard's unwavering dedication to the study of nature and his remarkable artistic abilities. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and discovery.
