EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving captures the delicate beauty of Hedge bindweed, Calystegia sepium, as depicted in Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch from 1557. The intricate details of this botanical illustration showcase the skill and artistry of the 16th century artist who created it.
The image is part of a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in multiple languages including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. This diverse linguistic representation reflects the widespread interest in herbal medicine and natural history across Europe during that time period.
Hedge bindweed was considered a useful plant with medicinal properties in traditional herbal remedies. Its inclusion in Lonicer's work highlights its significance as a botanical specimen worthy of study and appreciation.
As we admire this historical print today, we are transported back to a time when botanical exploration was at its peak and artists were inspired to capture the beauty of nature through their detailed engravings. This piece serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with plants and their potential for both healing and aesthetic pleasure.
