EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts the enchanting Wild Daffodil or Lent Lily, Narcissus pseudonarcissus, also known as Narcissus pseudo-narcissus or Narcisse des pres. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edouard Maubert and beautifully rendered in steel engraving by Alphonse-Leon Noel. This artwork was published as part of the comprehensive botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Wild Daffodil is a beloved flower native to Europe, particularly in woodlands and meadows. Its vibrant yellow blooms appear in early spring, heralding the arrival of warmer weather. The common name "Lent Lily" refers to the fact that these flowers often bloom during Lent, the Christian season of fasting and reflection. The intricate details of the Wild Daffodil's petals, leaves, and stem are expertly captured in this engraving, showcasing the dedication and artistry of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The delicate veining and texture of the petals, the subtle variations in colour, and the intricate patterns on the leaves all contribute to the beauty and realism of this exquisite artwork. This Wild Daffodil engraving is not only a testament to the natural wonder of this beloved flower but also a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the meticulous processes involved in creating such detailed and accurate representations of plants during the 19th century.
