EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Syrian bean-caper, Zygophyllum fabago, also known as Fabagelle. The botanical illustration was created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Oudet for the influential work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The Syrian bean-caper is a small tree or shrub native to the Mediterranean region, characterized by its distinctive bean-like capsules. The plant was highly valued in traditional medicine for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the plant's various features, from its slender branches and small leaves to the clusters of capsules adorning its stems. The handcoloured technique adds an extra layer of beauty to the engraving, making the plant's intricacies stand out even more. The vibrant colours bring the Syrian bean-caper to life, highlighting its unique characteristics and making it a captivating addition to any botanical collection. This 19th-century artwork is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of its creators. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of documenting the natural world for both scientific and aesthetic purposes.
