EDITORS COMMENTS
Sneezewort Yarrow, Achillea ptarmica, is a beautiful and intricately detailed plant, as depicted in this stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving from Richard Duppa's "The Classes and Orders of the Linnaean System of Botany," published in London in 1816. This exquisite illustration showcases the delicate features of the Sneezewort Yarrow, with its fern-like leaves and clusters of small, white flowers. Richard Duppa was a renowned botanical illustrator of the early 19th century, known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of plant specimens. His work was a significant contribution to the scientific community during the Linnaean revolution, which aimed to classify and organize the vast array of plant species then known. The Sneezewort Yarrow, also known as Achillea ptarmica, is a herbaceous perennial native to Europe and Asia. It is a popular plant in herbal medicine, particularly for its essential oil, which has been used to alleviate respiratory issues, including colds and allergies, as well as to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This image invites us to appreciate the natural beauty of the Sneezewort Yarrow and the artistry of Richard Duppa's illustration, while also reminding us of the rich history of botanical exploration and discovery.
