EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured steel engraving depicts the enchanting Cuckooflower, Cardamine pratensis, also known as Ladies' Smock, Mayflower, and Milkmaids, in all its botanical glory. The image is a meticulous reproduction of Edouard Maubert's original botanical illustration, skillfully engraved by Lebrun for the esteemed publication, "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," edited by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The Cuckooflower is a herbaceous plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America, characterized by its delicate, white, five-petaled flowers arranged in racemes, which bloom from May to July. The plant derives its common name from the resemblance of its flowers to the cuckoo bird's egg, which is hidden in the nest of other birds. The Cuckooflower has long been valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its diuretic, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory effects. This engraving showcases the intricate details of the Cuckooflower's leaves, stems, and flowers, providing a window into the natural world of over a century ago. The delicate hand-colouring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This engraving is not only a testament to the meticulous work of its creators but also a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation.
