Spring Pheasants Eye or False Hellebore: A Vibrant Botanical Marvel This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving showcases the Spring Pheasants Eye or False Hellebore (Adonis vernalis, Adonide printaniere), a captivating spring ephemeral flower. The intricate illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and masterfully engraved by Charles Louis Constans, is an exquisite example of the meticulous botanical artistry of the 19th century. The Spring Pheasants Eye, also known as Adonis or Lords-and-Ladies, is a European native plant that thrives in woodlands and hedgerows. This enchanting bloom is characterized by its distinctive, bright red berries and elegant, hooded, greenish-yellow flowers. The plant's common name is derived from its resemblance to the eye of a pheasant, with the red berries representing the pupil and the yellow hoods serving as the iris. The botanical illustration, part of the esteemed "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" series, was published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. This comprehensive work aimed to document and catalog the medicinal properties of various plant species, making it an essential resource for botanists, physicians, and naturalists of the time. The hand-colored steel engraving process employed in this illustration allowed for exceptional detail and vibrancy, perfectly capturing the allure of the Spring Pheasants Eye. The delicate interplay of colors, from the rich red of the berries to the vibrant yellow of the flowers, brings this plant to life, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the natural world.
