EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of white and yellow flowered feverfew, scientifically known as Matricaria parthenium. The image is a handcolored copperplate engraving created by the talented James Sowerby in the early 19th century. Feverfew has long been recognized for its medicinal properties, particularly as a remedy for headaches. This herbal plant was often used to make soothing teas and other herbal remedies to alleviate pain and discomfort. The intricate details captured in this botanical illustration highlight Sowerby's expertise in depicting natural history subjects. His dedication to his craft is evident through his extensive body of work, which includes over 2,500 plants for Smith's renowned "English Botany" publication. As we admire this antique print, we are transported back to a time when botanical illustrations played an essential role in documenting and understanding the natural world. It serves as a testament to both Sowerby's artistic talent and the scientific exploration that took place during this period.
