EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts the beautiful and intricately detailed flowers of Bugbane, also known as Actaea cimicifuga, Cimicifuga foetida, Cimicaire fetide, Baneberry, or cohosh. The image is a masterpiece of botanical illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and expertly rendered in steel engraving by Alphonse-Leon Noel. It was originally published as part of the comprehensive medical botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. Bugbane is a native North American plant, with large, showy white flowers that bloom in late summer. The plant was highly valued by Indigenous peoples for its medicinal properties, particularly for women's health issues, and was used to treat a variety of ailments including menstrual cramps, fever, and as a sedative. The plant gets its common name from its ability to repel insects, making it an effective natural bug repellent. This exquisite engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricate beauty of the Bugbane flower in meticulous detail. The delicate petals, intricate veining, and precise shading all contribute to a stunning visual representation of this fascinating plant.
