EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Small Pasque Flower, Anemone pratensis, as it was depicted in Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive botanical work, "Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants" published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Small Pasque Flower, also known as Anemone nemorosa in some regions, is a delightful spring ephemeral herbaceous plant native to Europe, North America, and Western Asia. The intricate details of this botanical illustration reveal the delicate beauty of the Small Pasque Flower's unique features. The elegant, nodding, pink or white flowers with their distinctive, narrow, and pointed petals are arranged in a raceme, creating a captivating display. The heart-shaped leaves, which are palmate and lobed, can be seen in the background. The Small Pasque Flower was highly valued in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties. The rhizomes and roots were used to treat various ailments, including dysentery, diarrhea, and skin conditions. The plant's active compounds, such as anemonin and anemonin glucoside, were believed to be responsible for its therapeutic effects. This stunning botanical illustration is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical botanical works or for those with an interest in the natural world, medicinal plants, or the art of botanical illustration. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving are truly a testament to the dedication and expertise of the botanical artists and scientists of the time.
