EDITORS COMMENTS
Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis, also known as Sanguinaire du Canada, is a beautiful and intricately detailed plant depicted in this stunning 19th-century handcoloured steel engraving. The illustration was created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Debray, as part of the comprehensive botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. Bloodroot is a perennial herb native to eastern North America, with distinctive heart-shaped leaves and bright red sap. The plant was highly valued in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties, particularly for treating skin conditions, respiratory issues, and as a pain reliever. The intricate details of the Bloodroot's veins, leaves, and roots are beautifully captured in this engraving, showcasing the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. The delicate colouring adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable record of natural history. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving knowledge of the natural world during the 19th century.
