EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Woodland Figwort, Scrophularia nodosa, also known as Scrofularia noueuse. The image is a beautiful representation of this fascinating plant, as captured by the skilled hands of botanical illustrator Edouard Maubert and masterfully rendered in engraving by Debray. The Woodland Figwort is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is characterized by its tall, slender stems adorned with pairs of oval, toothed leaves, and spikes of small, tubular, two-lipped flowers. The plant derives its common name from its fig-like figworts, which are swollen nodes along the stem. This engraving is an essential contribution to the rich botanical record of the 19th century, as part of the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by L. Guerin in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The work was a collaborative effort between Reveil, botanists A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq, and numerous skilled illustrators and engravers. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving serve not only as a testament to the artists' craftsmanship but also as an enduring record of the natural world. The Woodland Figwort, with its delicate beauty and rich history, continues to captivate botanists, naturalists, and art lovers alike, making this engraving a valuable addition to any collection.
