EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Lesser Periwinkle, Vinca minor, also known as Petite Pervenche in French. The botanical illustration was created by the skilled hand of Edouard Maubert and published as part of the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The meticulously detailed engraving captures every intricate feature of the Lesser Periwinkle, from its delicate, heart-shaped leaves to its bell-shaped, light blue or violet flowers. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of artistry, bringing the plant to life with vibrant hues and enhancing its natural charm. The Lesser Periwinkle is a low-growing, evergreen perennial that is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is widely cultivated for its attractive foliage and beautiful flowers, which bloom from early spring to late summer. The plant has gained popularity in gardens and landscapes for its ability to spread and cover large areas, making it an excellent groundcover. This 19th-century botanical illustration is a testament to the dedication and passion of the naturalists and artists of the time, who meticulously documented the natural world for scientific and aesthetic purposes. The intricate details and stunning colours of the engraving serve as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of preserving and celebrating it.
