EDITORS COMMENTS
This botanical plate showcases three distinct varieties of potatoes, beautifully engraved by G. Severeyns in the 19th century. The chromolitho print captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of these root vegetables, making them appear almost lifelike. Potatoes have long been considered a staple food around the world, and this image pays homage to their importance in our culinary history. Each variety depicted here has its own unique characteristics, from shape and size to coloration and texture. The artist's skillful rendering highlights not only the visual appeal of these potatoes but also their significance as a "bienfaiteur" or benefactor in our diets. Potatoes are not just a vegetable; they represent sustenance, nourishment, and comfort for countless individuals throughout history. As we gaze upon this botanical plate, we can't help but appreciate the artistry behind it while also marveling at nature's bounty. It serves as a reminder that even humble vegetables like potatoes can be objects of beauty when observed with an artistic eye. This print is part of a private collection preserved by eArchives Charmet and made available through Bridgeman Images. Its historical value lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to botany studies during its time – showcasing different kinds of pommes de terre such as De Rohan and Segonzac varieties.
