EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Chasselas grape variety, specifically the Chasselas de Fontainebleau and Chasselas de Thomery, from the renowned botanical work "La Regne Vegetal" published between 1864 and 1871. The illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and engraved by Debray, showcases the intricate details of these white grapes, highlighting their distinctive features and textures. The Chasselas grape is a popular white grape variety native to Switzerland, and is also known as Fendant in Switzerland and Gouais Blanc in other regions. It is believed to be one of the oldest grape varieties in Europe, with records dating back to the 15th century. The Chasselas de Fontainebleau and Chasselas de Thomery are specific clones of this grape variety, named after the regions in France where they were cultivated. The illustration captures the grapes at their prime, with their round, greenish-yellow berries arranged in compact clusters. The delicate veins and tendrils of the vine are also depicted, adding to the overall beauty and accuracy of the botanical representation. The intricate details of the engraving process, combined with the vibrant hand-coloring, bring the grapes to life and offer a fascinating glimpse into the botanical world of the late 19th century. This stunning work of art not only serves as a testament to the meticulous botanical illustration techniques of the time, but also highlights the importance of grape cultivation and the appreciation for the natural world during the Victorian era.
