EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, showcases the beauty and intricacy of botanical illustrations from the 16th century. The image features Bur grass, Tragus species, and purslane, Portulaca species, each meticulously detailed in vibrant colors.
Originally published in Frankfurt in 1557, this particular print is from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only. The captions accompanying the plants are written in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript.
The delicate lines and shading of the woodblock engraving highlight the unique characteristics of each plant depicted. From the spiky leaves of Bur grass to the succulent texture of purslane, every detail is captured with precision and artistry.
These botanical illustrations were not only aesthetically pleasing but also served a practical purpose in medical botany during that time period. Plants like these were used for their medicinal properties and were essential components of herbal remedies.
As we admire this piece of history preserved through artistry and craftsmanship, we are reminded of the rich tradition of botanical illustration that continues to inspire us today.
