EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Round-leaved Sundew or Common Sundew, Drosera rotundifolia 2. Description: This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Round-leaved Sundew, scientifically known as Drosera rotundifolia, also referred to as Droserie a feuilles rondes. The image is a meticulous reproduction of a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, created for the esteemed horticultural publication "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. 3. Subject: The Round-leaved Sundew is a captivating carnivorous plant native to Western Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Its unique adaptation to survive in nutrient-poor environments is evident in the intricate details of this engraving. The plant is shown with its vibrant, sticky leaves, each tipped with tiny, red hairs that attract and trap insects. The leaves then curl around the prey, secreting digestive enzymes to break down the insect and absorb its nutrients. 4. Artistry: The hand-colored steel engraving by Alphonse-Leon Noel masterfully captures the intricacies of the Round-leaved Sundew's structure. The delicate veining on the leaves, the subtle variations in color, and the precise details of the insects trapped in the leaves all contribute to the overall beauty and accuracy of the illustration. 5. Historical Significance: This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work that went into documenting the natural world during the 19th century. The publication of "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" was a significant contribution to the scientific community, providing an accurate record of various plant species for both scientific and horticultural purposes. Today, this engraving remains an invaluable resource for botanical research and appreciation.
