EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of indigenous poisonous plants, beautifully depicted in vibrant colors through the art of engraving. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and holds historical significance. The image features various deadly nightshade plants, commonly known as "Tollkirsche" or "Tollbeere" alongside the infamous plant called "Nachtschatten". Among them, Atropa belladonna and Solanum hortense stand out with their intricate details captured flawlessly in this engraving. These toxic plants have long been recognized for their potent medicinal properties. The enchanting yet dangerous nature of these botanical specimens has fascinated scientists and herbalists alike throughout history. Their allure lies not only in their striking appearance but also in the potential dangers they possess. Originally published between 1790-1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, within his renowned work "A Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), this print serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight. Preserved over centuries, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and scientific importance. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts to make it accessible once again, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece without any copyright restrictions. Let yourself be mesmerized by the intricate engravings that bring these indigenous poisonous plants to life before your eyes.
