EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts the beautiful Pasqueflower, also known as Danes Blood or Anemone pulsatilla, Pulsatille. The image is a meticulous reproduction of a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, skillfully engraved by Lebrun. It was originally published as part of the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The Pasqueflower is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is characterized by its distinctive bell-shaped flowers, which bloom in early spring, hence the common name "Pasque," derived from the Latin word for Easter. The flowers come in various shades of pink, purple, and white, with a contrasting yellow or orange stigma. The plant's common name "Danes Blood" is believed to have originated from the belief that the red sap of the plant could be used as a dye or paint. The intricate details of the Pasqueflower's petals, sepals, and stamens are expertly captured in this engraving, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The delicate hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This print is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world and the dedication of the scientists and artists who documented it during the 19th century.
