EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Wild Arum, Arum maculatum, also known as Lords-and-Ladies or Jack in the Pulpit. The intricately detailed illustration was created by Charles Louis Constans and beautifully rendered in engraving by Lebrun for the horticultural publication "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincq in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The Wild Arum is a native plant of Europe, North America, and Asia, and is characterized by its unique and distinctive appearance. The plant is named for its umbrella-like spathe, which encloses the spadix, resembling a 'jack in a pulpit.' The spathe is adorned with red spots, as indicated by the specific epithet 'maculatum,' and the plant is also known as 'Lords-and-Ladies' due to the red spots on the spathe resembling the robes of the nobility. The botanical illustration captures the beauty and intricacy of the Wild Arum in exquisite detail, showcasing the delicate veining on the leaves, the intricate texture of the spathe, and the delicate flowers hidden within. The handcolouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the plant to life and highlighting its unique features. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to accuracy that was a hallmark of botanical illustration during this period. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations.
