EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Water Caltrop or Buffalo Nut, Trapa natans, a unique aquatic plant also known as Macre. The image is based on a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert and was beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of Oudet. The engraving is a part of the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Water Caltrop is a remarkable plant, with its distinctive, three-lobed leaves arranged in a rosette at the water surface and its long, slender stalks supporting small, round, nut-like fruits. These fruits, which are submerged in the water, are rich in nutrients and were historically used as a food source for both humans and animals, particularly buffalo. The intricate details of the plant's structure are expertly captured in this engraving, with each leaf, vein, and nut meticulously rendered. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the rich hues of the plant and enhancing its overall beauty. This exquisite botanical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world and the meticulous scientific work of the 19th century.
