EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Edible Tubers, Tubercules Alimentaires," is a stunning botanical representation of various edible tubers and tuberous roots, as illustrated by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Corbie for the horticulture volume of Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work, "La Regne Vegetal," published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The illustration showcases an array of intriguing tuberous plants, including the Purple Woodsorrel (Oxalis purpurea), Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), Papalisa or Olluco (Ullucus tuberosus), Yamaimo or Mountain Yam (Dioscorea japonica), and Prairie Turnip (Psorealea esculenta). The Purple Woodsorrel, with its vibrant purple leaves and tuberous roots, is a common weed in many regions. The Jerusalem Artichoke, also known as sunroot or sunchoke, is a sunflower species native to North America, with edible tubers that taste similar to artichokes. The Papalisa or Olluco, a South American tuber, is a staple food in the Andes and is often used in Peruvian cuisine. The Yamaimo or Mountain Yam, native to Japan, is a type of yam with a translucent, gelatinous texture and is commonly used in Japanese dishes. Lastly, the Prairie Turnip, also known as the wild parsnip, is a native North American plant with edible tubers that have a sweet, parsnip-like flavor. This beautiful engraving not only captures the unique beauty of these tuberous plants but also serves as a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the diversity of the natural world and the importance of these plants in various cultures and cuisines.
