EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the deadly nightshade, also known as Atropa belladonna or Belladone. Created by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert in the 19th century, this handcoloured steel engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of this poisonous plant. The image is part of a larger botanical illustration featured in Pierre Oscar Reveil's "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale". This comprehensive work on medical botany provides valuable insights into the uses and properties of various plants. The deadly nightshade is depicted as a shrub-like tree with vibrant green leaves and dark purple berries. Its allure lies in its striking appearance, but it conceals its true nature – being highly toxic to humans and animals alike. This print serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between beauty and danger found within nature. While visually appealing, it highlights the importance of caution when dealing with unfamiliar flora. Maubert's skillful rendering, combined with Oudet's meticulous engraving technique, brings out every intricate detail of this intriguing plant. The handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Displayed against a neutral background, this artwork draws attention solely to the deadly nightshade itself. It serves as both an educational tool for those interested in botany and an aesthetic piece that can be appreciated for its artistic merit alone.
