EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Lactarius volumes, Agaricus volemus, edible," is an exquisite example of the mycological illustrations created by Fritz Leuba, a renowned mycologist and artist from Neuchatel, Switzerland. Dated back to 1890, this illustration showcases two edible mushroom species, Lactarius volumes and Agaricus volemus, which were commonly found in Europe. Leuba's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the mushrooms' cap, gills, and stem, which are rendered in vibrant colors and lifelike textures. The print also includes a Latin label identifying the species names, reflecting the scientific rigor of Leuba's work. At the time, mycology was a burgeoning field, and Leuba was at the forefront of documenting and illustrating the diverse world of mushrooms. His chromolithographs, like this one, were an essential resource for both scientific research and culinary applications. The print's historical significance is further emphasized by its origin in Neuchatel, Switzerland, a region known for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage in mycology. The intricate details and beautiful colors of this print serve as a testament to Leuba's artistic and scientific achievements, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on mycology, natural history, or the history of science.
