EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch showcases the beauty and intricacy of two wild trees - the Wild service tree, Sorbus torminalis, and the wild plum, Prunus sylvestris. Dating back to 1557 in Frankfurt, this botanical illustration is a true masterpiece of its time.
The detailed depiction of these plants serves as a valuable resource for understanding their medicinal properties and uses in herbal medicine. The captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript provide a comprehensive insight into the characteristics of these plants.
As we gaze upon this 16th-century artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where botanical illustrations were not only aesthetically pleasing but also served as important educational tools. The intricate details captured by the woodblock engraving highlight the skill and precision required to create such works of art.
This print is not just a visual delight but also a reminder of our connection to nature and the importance of preserving plant species for future generations. It stands as a testament to the rich history of botanical studies and serves as a timeless piece that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
