EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Corbie after Edouard Maubert's botanical illustration, showcases an enchanting array of edible bulbous plants. The illustration, part of Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871, provides a detailed and captivating representation of these essential kitchen staples. The image features six distinct bulbous plants, each with its unique characteristics. At the center stands the common onion, Allium cepa, with its multiple layers of papery skin encasing the juicy, flavorful bulb. To the onion's left, shallots, Allium ascalonicum, are depicted with their smaller, clove-like bulbs, which are often used to add depth and complexity to dishes. Chives, Allium schoenoprasum, are illustrated towards the bottom, with their slender, tubular bulbs and long, hollow green leaves. Garlic, Allium sativum, is shown on the right, with its distinctive, tightly packed cloves, which are renowned for their pungent, savory taste. This stunning engraving serves as a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the time, providing a visual representation of the various edible bulbous plants and their unique features. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these plants to life, making this an essential addition to any botanical or culinary collection.
