EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Root vegetables, racines alimentaires," showcases an exquisite arrangement of five different root vegetables: beetroot (Beta vulgaris), wild carrot (Daucus carota), and rampion (Campanula rapunculus). The intricately detailed illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Corbie, is taken from the comprehensive botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier" published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The beetroot, with its deep red hue and distinctive bulbous shape, is a popular root vegetable known for its sweet taste and versatility in various dishes. The wild carrot, the ancestor of the modern domesticated carrot, is characterized by its long, thin taproot and distinctive umbelliferous flowers. Rampion, also known as campion or wild radish, is a lesser-known root vegetable with a sweet, mildly bitter taste and a distinctive purple color. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving highlights the unique textures and forms of each root vegetable, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring the vegetables to life, inviting the viewer to appreciate their natural beauty and the artistry of the illustrator and engraver. This image offers a glimpse into the rich botanical knowledge of the past and serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world.
