EDITORS COMMENTS
Common Agrimony, Agrimonia eupatoria, is a flowering plant in the Rosaceae family, native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving is an accurate representation of the Common Agrimony, as depicted in Richard Duppa's "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published by Longman, Hurst, in London in 1816. The Common Agrimony is characterized by its tall, branched stems and narrow, serrated leaves. Its small, yellow-green flowers bloom in dense, terminal spikes and are rich in nectar, making them an essential source of food for various insects. The plant's name, Agrimonia eupatoria, comes from the Greek words "agrimon," meaning "flee bane," and "eupator," meaning "horse-riding," likely due to its traditional use as a remedy for insect bites and horse sores. The intricate details of the Common Agrimony's leaves, flowers, and stems are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a glimpse into the botanical world of the early 19th century. The artistry and precision of the hand-colouring further enhance the visual appeal of this botanical masterpiece, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical botanical prints.
