EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Delightful Duo: Mustard and Tarragon - A Botanical Journey Through Time" 2.. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1802, showcases two intriguing herbs: White Mustard (Sinapis alba, 1) and Tarragon (Estragon, Artemisia dracunculus, 2). White Mustard, also known as Sinapis alba, is a common herb in the Brassicaceae family. Its bright yellow flowers and pods are easily recognizable, and the plant is native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean. White Mustard has a long history as a culinary and medicinal herb, with its pungent taste and spicy flavor adding zest to various dishes. Tarragon, or Estragon (Artemisia dracunculus), is an aromatic herb belonging to the Asteraceae family. Its distinctive slender leaves and tall, flowering stems are characteristic of this plant. Tarragon is native to Southern Europe and Western Asia, and its unique sweet and slightly bitter taste is a popular addition to many savory dishes, particularly in French and Mediterranean cuisine. As an educational and botanical encyclopedia for children, this picture book was an essential resource for young learners in the early 19th century. The intricate handcoloured copperplate engravings, like the one featuring Mustard and Tarragon, provided a visually engaging way to learn about the natural world and its various plant species. Today, these herbs continue to be cherished for their culinary and medicinal properties, making this engraving not only a fascinating historical artifact but also a testament to the enduring appeal of these aromatic plants.
