EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of New Zealand flax, also known as harekeke. The image captures the intricate details of this plant, highlighting its vibrant colors and unique structure. The Phormium tenax, or New Zealand flax, is a shrub-like plant that belongs to the botanical family Xanthorrhoeaceae. Native to New Zealand, it has long been valued for its versatile uses in Maori culture. The leaves of this plant were traditionally used for weaving baskets, mats, and clothing. In this 19th-century steel engraving turned into a handcoloured botanical illustration by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert, we can appreciate the meticulous artistry that brings out every aspect of the New Zealand flax's appearance. The attention to detail in both color and form creates an almost lifelike representation. The print is part of Pierre Oscar Reveil's renowned work "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres" which explores various plants from around the world. This particular piece was engraved by Oudet after Maubert's original illustration. Whether you are a botany enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art prints like this one, this depiction of New Zealand flax will surely captivate your imagination and transport you to the lush landscapes where these beautiful plants thrive.
