EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Clematis vitalba: Olld Mans Beard and Travellers Joy, Clematite des haies," is an exquisite example of botanical art from the 19th century. Created by the skilled hands of Edouard Maubert and Lebrun, this work of art is a reproduction from Pierre Oscar Reveil's "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," published between 1864 and 1871 by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq in Paris. The engraving showcases two varieties of Clematis vitalba, commonly known as Old Man's Beard and Traveller's Joy. The Old Man's Beard, with its long, curling tendrils, is depicted on the left side of the image, while the Traveller's Joy, characterized by its clusters of small, white flowers, is on the right. The intricate details of the vines, leaves, and flowers are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry, making this engraving a true testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, bringing the natural colors of the plants to life. The delicate shades of green, white, and brown create a stunning contrast against the black lines of the engraving, resulting in a visually captivating and educational piece. This engraving not only serves as a beautiful decorative item but also as a valuable historical record of botanical knowledge during the 19th century.
