EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a yellow flowered black henbane, scientifically known as Hyoscyamus niger. The handcolored copperplate engraving, created by the talented James Sowerby in the 19th century, captures every intricate detail of this herbal medicinal plant. The image depicts the striking contrast between the bright yellow flowers and the dark foliage of the henbane. Adding to its allure are green berries that adorn its branches. This botanical illustration was originally featured in William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's renowned book "Medical Botany" published in 1832. James Sowerby's exceptional talent is evident in his ability to bring plants to life through his meticulous drawings. His dedication can be seen not only in this particular piece but also throughout his extensive body of work, which includes over 2,500 plants for Smith's monumental "English Botany". This antique print serves as a window into both natural history and botanical artistry from England during the early 19th century. It reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and highlights the importance of preserving these treasures for future generations. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate and admire this remarkable artwork that seamlessly combines science, artistry, and history.
