EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Fruits, fruits légumieres," is a stunning botanical representation of various fruits and fruits légumieres, or edible gourds, from the late 19th century. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and expertly rendered in engraving by Debray, showcases five distinct fruits and gourds: chayote (Sechium edule) in the first and second positions, cantaloupe melon (Cucumis melo var. cantalupo) in the third position, and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in the fourth and fifth positions. Chayote, a native of Central America, is depicted as a long, pear-shaped gourd with a light green, smooth rind and white flesh. The cantaloupe melon, a popular and delicious summer fruit, is shown with its netted rind and orange flesh, while the watermelon, a quintessential symbol of warm weather, is illustrated with its iconic green rind and red, juicy flesh. This work of art is an essential addition to any botanical or horticultural collection, providing a glimpse into the rich history of fruit cultivation and botanical illustration. The meticulous attention to detail and vibrant hand-coloring bring these fruits to life, making this engraving a true masterpiece of its time.
