EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Edible tubers and fruit, tubercules alimentaires," is an exquisite botanical illustration from the comprehensive work "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," published between 1864 and 1871 by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs. The illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and masterfully engraved by Corbie, showcases an impressive array of edible tubers and fruits, or tubercules alimentaires. The illustration highlights several intriguing root vegetables and fruits, including the Earth almond, Cyperus esculentus, and the Peanut or Groundnut, Arachis hypogaea. These crops, native to South America, have since become staple foods in many parts of the world due to their high nutritional value and versatility. Additionally, the illustration features the Mashua, Tropaeolum tuberosum, a tuberous crop native to the Andes, and the Potato Bean, Apios tuberosa, which is native to the Americas and is often used as a substitute for potatoes. The Tuberous Pea, Lathyrus tuberosus, is also depicted, showcasing its unique, swollen root structure. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the time and the artistic skill of its creators. It serves as a reminder of the diversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of these tuberous crops in our global food supply.
