EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, showcases the beauty and intricacy of St. Barbara's herb, Barbarea vulgaris, and greater celandine, Chelidonium majus. Dating back to 1557 in Frankfurt, this botanical illustration is a true testament to the artistry and scientific precision of early herbalists.
The detailed depiction of these plants not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights their importance in medicine and natural history during the 16th century. The inclusion of captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English adds an educational element to this piece.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where botanical knowledge was highly valued and meticulously documented. Each leaf and stem is lovingly rendered with care and accuracy, showcasing the diversity of plant life that was studied by scholars like Lonicer.
Whether used for medicinal purposes or simply admired for their beauty, St. Barbara's herb and greater celandine continue to captivate us centuries later. This engraving serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with the natural world and its many wonders.
