EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch showcases the intricate beauty of two powerful and potentially deadly plants - the Balsam apple female, Momordica balsamina, and deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna. Dating back to 1557 in Frankfurt, this botanical illustration is a true testament to the artistry and scientific knowledge of the time.
The detailed depiction of these plants serves as a reminder of their significance in medicine and natural history. The Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English captions add an educational element to this piece, highlighting its importance in various cultures.
The 17th century pirate edition or atlas that this print comes from further adds to its historical value. It is a rare glimpse into the world of herbal medicine and botany during that era.
As we admire this artwork today, we are transported back in time to when these plants were not only studied for their medicinal properties but also revered for their beauty. The delicate handcolouring brings out the vibrancy of each leaf and flower, making them come alive on paper.
Overall, this botanical illustration is not just a visual treat but also a valuable piece of history that continues to fascinate viewers centuries later.
