EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Edible Mushrooms, Cryptogames Alimentaires," is a stunning botanical representation of various edible mushroom species. Created by Debray, based on the original illustration by Edouard Maubert, this artwork was published as part of Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work, "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The engraving showcases an impressive array of edible mushrooms, including the field mushroom (Agaricus campestris), chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), king bolete (Boletus edulis), morel (Morchella esculenta), white truffle (Tuber magnatum), and black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), among others. Each mushroom is meticulously rendered, highlighting their unique shapes, textures, and colors. Botanical illustrations like this one were essential during the 19th century, as they provided an accurate record of plant and fungi species, contributing significantly to scientific knowledge. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Debray and Maubert but also as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the fungal kingdom and the importance of documenting it for future generations.
