Plate 19 from Le Regne Vegetal, Vol 12, Hort. Atlas, 1870: A Magnificent Illustration of Lactuca sativa, the Humble yet Delicious Lettuce This exquisite illustration, entitled "Plantes pour salades" or "Plants for Salads," showcases a close-up view of Lactuca sativa, the common lettuce. Produced in 1870 as part of Le Regne Vegetal, Vol 12, Hort. Atlas, this work of art not only highlights the botanical beauty of this plant but also underscores its importance as a primary ingredient in salads and various culinary applications. Lactuca sativa, a member of the Asteraceae or Compositae family, is an herbaceous, flowering plant that belongs to the Eudicot clade, specifically the Asterales order and the Asteridae family. This dicotyledon, or two-seeded plant, is characterized by its green, succulent leaves and distinctive flowers. The illustration reveals the intricate details of the lettuce's leaves, which are arranged in a rosette at the base of the plant. The leaves are lobed, with smooth, glossy surfaces and a vibrant green hue. The plant's stem is stout and fibrous, supporting the lush foliage. As a food source, lettuce has been cultivated for thousands of years, with evidence dating back to ancient Egypt and Rome. Its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor make it an essential component in salads and a popular base for sandwiches. Lettuce is also rich in essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and fiber. This stunning illustration not only serves as a testament to the aesthetic appeal of Lactuca sativa but also emphasizes its significance as a valuable food source and an integral part of our culinary traditions. It is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the plant kingdom and the beauty that can be found in the simplest of ingredients.
