EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print, titled "Varieties of Pea (Pisum sativum)" by G. Severeyns of Brussels, showcases an impressive array of pea varieties as captured in Ernst Benary's "Album Benary" during the late 19th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring each pea pod and bean to life, revealing their unique shapes, sizes, and textures. Peas, a staple food source for many cultures, come in a wide range of varieties, each with distinct characteristics. Some peas are round and plump, while others are wrinkled or elongated. Some have green pods and beans, while others are purple, yellow, or even white. The pea family is diverse, and this print offers a visual representation of that diversity. The artistry of Severeyns is on full display in this chromolithograph. Chromolithography is a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a multicolored image. The process requires great skill and precision, as each color must be registered perfectly with the others to create a seamless image. Severeyns' mastery of this technique is evident in the smooth transitions between colors and the intricate details of each pea variety. This print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the pea plant and the artistry of G. Severeyns. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the varieties of peas that were available during the late 19th century. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of this important food source and the artistry of those who have captured its beauty through various mediums.
