EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts the aquatic herb, Watercress or Yellowcress (Nasturtium officinale), also known as Fontaine Cresson in French. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and expertly engraved by Lebrun, is taken from Pierre Oscar Reveil's renowned botanical work, "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq in Paris between 1864 and 1871. Watercress is an edible aquatic plant native to Europe and Asia, with a peppery flavor that makes it a popular culinary herb. The plant thrives in running water and is often found near streams and springs. In the illustration, the delicate leaves and stems of the watercress are depicted in vibrant greens, while the tiny yellow flowers bloom at the tips. The botanical illustration and engraving process were essential tools for identifying and documenting new plant discoveries during the 19th century. Reveil's "Flore Medicale" was a comprehensive work that aimed to provide accurate and detailed records of medicinal plants, making it an invaluable resource for botanists, pharmacists, and medical professionals of the time. This beautiful handcoloured steel engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past. It invites us to appreciate the natural beauty and intricacy of the Watercress plant and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the natural world.
