EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts Leontice leontopetalum, also known as Leontice commune or common leontice, a tuberous herb belonging to the family Aizoaceae. The image is based on a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert and was beautifully rendered by Alphonse-Leon Noel for the esteemed publication "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq in Paris between 1864 and 1871. Leontice leontopetalum is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region, characterized by its tuberous root and succulent leaves. The plant produces small, white, star-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters. Historically, this plant was used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including gastrointestinal issues and skin conditions. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the delicate beauty of the Leontice leontopetalum, from the veins on its leaves to the delicate petals of its flowers. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century and serves as a reminder of the rich natural history of the Mediterranean region.
