EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Turkish wartycabbage or Turkish rocket, Bunias orientalis, also known as Bunias de Levant. The botanical illustration was created by Edouard Maubert and the engraving was executed by Alphonse-Leon Noel for the horticultural publication "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres," published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The Turkish wartycabbage is a unique and intriguing plant native to the eastern Mediterranean region, characterized by its distinctive, spiky, and vibrant red-purple inflorescence that resembles a rocket or a cluster of small spears. The plant belongs to the Brassicaceae family and is often cultivated for its ornamental value. The meticulous detail in this engraving showcases the intricacies of the Turkish wartycabbage's structure, from its slender stems and narrow leaves to its delicate, five-petaled flowers. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, highlighting the rich hues of the plant's various parts. This botanical illustration provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the 19th century. It serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of documenting it for future generations.
