EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving, created by Debray after a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, provides an intricate and detailed view of the internal structure of a Peach fruit, scientifically known as Prunus persica. The image showcases two distinct varieties of peaches - one with white flesh and the other with red flesh. The meticulously drawn sections reveal the complex arrangement of the fruit's seeds, surrounded by the juicy, edible flesh. The engraving also highlights the peach tree's leaves and branch, adding to the overall botanical accuracy of the illustration. This beautiful artwork is taken from the comprehensive horticultural publication, "La Regne Vegetal: Horticulture: Jardin Potager et Jardin Fruitier," edited by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs, and published by L. Guerin in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The publication aimed to provide a comprehensive record of various plant species, their cultivation, and their uses. The intricate handcoloured steel engraving technique used in this illustration was a popular method for producing detailed and accurate botanical illustrations during the 19th century. The result is a visually stunning representation of the peach fruit that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate detail and scientific accuracy.
