EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Herbes potageres: Chard, Beta vulgaris, Nettle, Urtica dioica, Rhubarb, Rheum rhabarbarum, Garden Orache, Atriplex hortensis," is a stunning example of botanical illustration from the 19th century. Created by the skilled hands of Corbie, after the original botanical drawing by Edouard Maubert, this engraving is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of the time. The image showcases an array of leaf vegetables, or "herbes potageres," which were commonly grown in French potager gardens during the 19th century. The illustration includes Chard (Beta vulgaris), Nettle (Urtica dioica), Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum), Garden Orache (Atriplex hortensis), and an additional unidentified leaf vegetable. Chard, with its distinctive bright stems and dark green leaves, is a popular leaf vegetable that is still widely consumed today. Nettle, although often overlooked, is a nutritious wild plant that was once a staple in many traditional diets. Rhubarb, known for its tart and tangy flavor, is often used in desserts and jams, while Garden Orache is a versatile leaf vegetable that can be eaten raw or cooked. This engraving not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical collection, but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the horticultural practices and culinary traditions of the past. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these leaf vegetables to life, making this a truly captivating work of art.
