EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Stinking Hellebore, Helleborus foetidus, also known as Ellebore fetide, Dungwort, or Setterwort. The image is a beautiful representation of this intriguing plant, created by the skilled hands of Alphonse-Leon Noel, based on the original botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert. The engraving is taken from Pierre Oscar Reveil's comprehensive work, "La Regne Vegetal: Planets Agricoles et Forestieres," published by L. Guerin in Paris between 1864 and 1871. The Stinking Hellebore is a perennial herb native to Europe, particularly in woodlands and hedgerows. It is characterized by its large, leathery, and deeply lobed, dark-green leaves, which can grow up to 30 cm long. The plant's most notable feature is its unpleasant odor, which is believed to deter herbivores. The Stinking Hellebore produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in late winter or early spring, which bloom before the leaves emerge. The botanical illustration and engraving provide a detailed and accurate representation of the Stinking Hellebore, capturing its unique features and intricate details. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the 19th century, who dedicated their time and expertise to documenting the natural world in such intricate detail. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom.
