EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Crimson Clover or Italian Clover, Trifolium incarnatum, also known as Trefle incarnat in French. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edouard Maubert and masterfully engraved by Oudet. This stunning artwork was published as part of the comprehensive botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Crimson Clover is a herbaceous annual plant that belongs to the Fabaceae family, commonly known as the legume family. Its distinctive features include its trifoliate leaves, which are adorned with crimson-red flowers. These flowers attract various pollinators, contributing to the plant's successful reproduction. The plant's deep red color makes it a striking addition to gardens and fields, particularly during spring. The botanical illustration provides an intricate and detailed view of the Crimson Clover's various parts, including its roots, stem, leaves, and flowers. The meticulous attention to detail showcases the artists' dedication to accurately capturing the plant's unique characteristics. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. This engraving is not only a testament to the beauty of the Crimson Clover but also a valuable contribution to the historical record of botanical illustrations. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate processes involved in creating botanical art during the 19th century.
