EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts Common Meadow Rue, Thalictrum flavum, also known as Pigamon des pres in French. The botanical illustration was created by Charles Louis Constans and engraved by Lebrun for the influential work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871 in Paris. Common Meadow Rue is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is characterized by its slender, fern-like leaves and tall, flowering stems that bear small, white or pinkish-purple flowers. The plant is commonly found in meadows, grasslands, and along roadsides. The intricate detail of this engraving showcases the delicate beauty of the Common Meadow Rue, with each vein and petal rendered with precision. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of artistry, bringing the plant to life in vivid detail. Botanical illustrations like this one were an essential part of the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the 19th century. They were used to identify and classify new species, as well as to study the morphology and anatomy of plants. The high-quality production values of works like "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" reflect the importance placed on accurate and beautiful botanical records during this period. This engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, and remains a valuable resource for botanical research and appreciation today.
