EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph by G. Severeyns of Brussels, taken from Ernst Benary's Album Benary between 1876 and 1886, showcases the diverse and alluring varieties of edible-podded peas, also known as sugar peas. The intricate detailing of each pea pod and its contained peas reveals the care and artistry that went into the creation of this botanical illustration. Edible-podded peas, or sugar peas, have been cultivated for thousands of years and are beloved for their sweet, tender taste. Unlike their dried counterparts, these peas are harvested when the pods are still young and the peas are still enclosed, allowing them to be enjoyed in their entirety. The pods can be eaten raw or cooked, and their versatility lends them to a wide range of culinary applications. The illustration depicts several distinct varieties of sugar peas, each with unique characteristics. Some pods are curved and slender, while others are plump and round. The peas themselves range in color from pale green to deep purple, adding visual interest to the dish. The delicate tendrils that curl around the stems add a touch of elegance and whimsy to the image. This beautiful and detailed illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also highlights the rich history and diversity of the humble sugar pea. Whether used as a decorative piece or as inspiration for a delicious meal, this image is a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the natural world.
