EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the European white water lily, also known as Nymphaea alba or Nymphea blanc. The image, captured by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert in the 19th century, depicts a handcoloured steel engraving that highlights the intricate details of this enchanting flower. The botanical illustration, created by Maubert and later engraved by Oudet, is part of a larger collection called "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale". This comprehensive work on medical botany and herbal medicine was published between 1864 and 1871. In this particular artwork, we are transported to a serene aquatic setting where the European white water lily reigns supreme. Its pure white petals delicately float atop vibrant green lily pads, creating a harmonious contrast against the calm waters below. The image not only celebrates the aesthetic allure of nature but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in botany and agriculture. It offers insight into the diverse flora found within Europe's natural landscapes. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant hand-colouring techniques, this print captures both artistic finesse and scientific accuracy. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions, it serves as a timeless reminder of our planet's rich botanical heritage.
