EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two beautiful and intriguing plants from the natural world: the White Asphodel, Asphodelus albus, and the Wild Lily, Lilium sylvestre. Dating back to the 16th century, this botanical illustration was originally published in Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, Krauterbuch, or Herbal, in Frankfurt. The image is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistry of the time, with the delicate petals of the White Asphodel and Wild Lily rendered in vivid colors against the intricately textured background. The White Asphodel, also known as the Narcissus lily, is a bulbous perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. Its elegant white flowers bloom in late spring, and the plant was believed to have medicinal properties, as indicated by the Latin caption "Asphodelus albus" inscribed below. The Wild Lily, or Madonna Lily, is a tall, elegant herbaceous plant with large, fragrant, white flowers. It was widely used in traditional medicine, and its Greek name, "Lilium sylvestre," translates to "wild lily of the woods." This particular woodblock engraving is from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The multilingual captions reflect the global reach and influence of botanical knowledge during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this botanical illustration continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botany and the natural world.
