EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Colchicum" showcases the intricate beauty of a poisonous plant. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and was likely published as a Liebig card during that era. The image belongs to a series dedicated to exploring poisonous plants and their various uses. In this particular piece, colchicum takes center stage, revealing its vibrant flowers against a backdrop that hints at the pharmaceutical industry. The toxic nature of colchicine, found in these flowers, makes it both intriguing and dangerous. With its educational value evident, this print offers insight into the world of medicine and botany during the industrial age. It sheds light on how workers in distilleries and manufacturing facilities were involved in extracting valuable drugs from such plants for medicinal purposes. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this striking representation of colchicum's allure intertwined with its toxicity, we are reminded of the delicate balance between health and danger within our natural surroundings. Let us marvel at the artistry while acknowledging the significant role these plants played in shaping medical practices throughout history.
