EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Sweet Violet or Garden Violet, Viola odorata, also known as Violette odorante. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Edouard Maubert and masterfully engraved by Lebrun for the renowned horticultural and medical publication, La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale, published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. The delicate violet bloom is depicted in all its splendor, with its heart-shaped, velvety leaves and five petals arranged in a perfect symmetry. The petals display a captivating blend of purple and white, with a distinct yellow throat. The intricate veining and minute details of the flower are beautifully captured in the engraving, making it a testament to the artists' skill and dedication. The Sweet Violet, native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, has long been admired for its charming fragrance and elegant appearance. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and is often used as a cut flower in floral arrangements due to its delightful scent and attractive blooms. The plant belongs to the Violaceae family and is closely related to other violets, such as the Johnny-jump-up and Pansy. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a stunning work of art but also holds significant value in the fields of botany, horticulture, and medicine. The meticulous documentation of the Sweet Violet's anatomy and characteristics in La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge during the 19th century.
