EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the charming beauty of Kidney Vetch, or Anthyllis vulneraria. The delicate plant is depicted in full bloom, with its vibrant yellow pea-like flowers adorning slender, hairy stems. The intricate veins of the leaves are beautifully rendered, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. Anthyllis vulneraria, also known as Ladies Finger due to the shape of its seed pods, is a native plant of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is a low-growing herbaceous perennial, typically found in grasslands and open woodlands. The plant's small, kidney-shaped leaves are covered in fine hairs, providing a velvety texture. The botanical illustration is taken from James Smith's English Botany, published in London in 1793. The work was illustrated by the renowned botanical artist James Sowerby, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of his subjects. The hand-coloring of the engraving adds an additional layer of artistry, making this a truly stunning example of 18th-century botanical illustration. Anthyllis vulneraria has been used in herbal medicine for centuries. The plant is believed to have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, and has been used to treat various ailments including kidney stones, gout, and arthritis. The plant's seeds have also been used as a food source, particularly during times of famine. This print is a testament to the beauty and versatility of nature, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical knowledge that was being documented during the 18th century.
