EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Varieties of Peas and Beans, Gousses et Graines Legumieres," is an exquisite example of botanical illustration from the 19th century. The illustration is based on a botanical drawing by Edouard Maubert and was engraved by Corbie for the horticultural volume of "La Regne Vegetal" published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The illustration showcases an impressive array of peas (Pisum sativum) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), arranged in a symmetrical composition that highlights their diverse shapes, sizes, and colours. The intricately detailed engraving captures every textural nuance of the peas and beans, from the wrinkled surfaces of the dried gousses (pods) to the delicate tendrils and leaves. The title of the illustration, "Gousses et Graines Legumieres," translates to "Peas and Beans, Pods and Seeds," emphasizing the importance of these plants as a staple food source. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcolouring add to the aesthetic appeal of the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigour of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world with precision and beauty. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of plant life, and a visual feast for the eyes.
