EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts Dyers Rocket, also known as Dyers Weed or Reseda Luteola, as illustrated by Edouard Maubert and engraved by L. Lebrun for the horticultural publication "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by L. Guerin in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of the plant, with its slender, branching stem adorned with small, yellow, pea-like flowers. Dyers Rocket is a native plant of the Mediterranean region and was historically cultivated for its bright yellow dye obtained from the plant's flowers. The dye was used to color textiles, particularly wool, and was highly valued for its vibrant hue. The engraving captures the beauty and elegance of this historically significant plant, providing a glimpse into the botanical knowledge and artistic skills of the time.
