EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Salad Plants, plantes pour salades," showcases a stunning array of various salad plants as illustrated by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Corbie for the horticulture section of Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work, "La Regne Vegetal," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The illustration captures the essence of each plant, revealing their intricate details and unique characteristics. The engraving features nine different salad plants, each identified by their botanical names. The first is the Dandelion, Taraxacum dens, with its distinctive yellow flowers and deeply lobed leaves. Next to it is Corn Salad, Valeriana locusta, characterized by its small, succulent leaves and delicate white flowers. The third plant is Lettuce, Lactuca sativa, with its familiar round heads and crisp, green leaves. Chicory, Cichorium intybus, is depicted with its blue-green leaves and distinctive white veins, while Endive, Cichorium endivia, is shown with its curly, bitter leaves. The engraving also includes Taraxacum dens, the Wild Dandelion, which is often used in salads for its slightly bitter taste and nutty texture. The remaining plants are less commonly used in salads but are worth mentioning. Valeriana locusta, or Corn Salad, is a low-growing plant with small, succulent leaves and delicate white flowers. Lactuca sativa, or Lettuce, is a popular salad green with crisp, green leaves and round heads. Chicory, Cichorium intybus, is a bitter-tasting plant with blue-green leaves and white veins, while Endive, Cichorium endivia, is known for its curly, bitter leaves. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of salad plants, showcasing their unique characteristics and the intricacy of their details. It serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire and nourish us today.
