EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Vegetables, Plantes potageres" or "Vegetables for the Kitchen Garden," showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed arrangement of various vegetables and herbs. The illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Corbie, is taken from Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The image features an array of vegetables and herbs commonly grown in kitchen gardens during the late 19th century. Some of the depicted plants include: 1. Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) – A popular herb used for its distinctive anise-like flavor in various dishes. 2. Salad Burnet (Poterium sanguisorba) – A delicate herb with a cucumber-like taste, often used in salads and as a garnish. 3. Leek (Allium porrum) – A large, edible bulb with a mild onion-like flavor, commonly used in soups and stews. 4. Garden Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) – A tangy, sour-tasting leafy plant, used as a flavoring in soups and sauces. 5. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) – A leafy green vegetable rich in iron and other essential nutrients, popular in various dishes. This stunning engraving not only highlights the beauty and diversity of these plants but also serves as an invaluable record of the horticultural practices and culinary traditions of the past.
