EDITORS COMMENTS
Mentha Viridis, or Green Mint, as it was known in the late 19th century, was a beloved plant in French gardens during the historical period. This beautiful photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures the essence of this fragrant herb in its prime. The lush, green leaves of the Mentha Viridis plant are arranged in perfect order, their vibrant hue a stark contrast against the earthy brown background. The delicate white flowers peek out from between the leaves, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. Mentha Viridis, also known as French Mint or Spearmint, was widely used for its culinary and medicinal properties. Its refreshing aroma and cooling taste made it a popular addition to various dishes, particularly in the preparation of mint sauces, teas, and liqueurs. The plant was also valued for its medicinal qualities, with ancient texts documenting its use in treating digestive issues, headaches, and respiratory problems. The history of Mentha Viridis can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was cultivated for both culinary and medicinal purposes. By the late 19th century, it had become a staple in French gardens, with many gardeners taking great pride in growing this versatile herb. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Mentha Viridis, both for its practical uses and its aesthetic beauty. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature were cherished and celebrated. The intricate details of the Mentha Viridis plant, captured in this image, invite us to appreciate the beauty and rich history of this humble herb.
