EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Lavandula angustifolia, commonly known as Lavender. The image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive botanical work, "Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants," published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. Lavender, a beloved herb in both culinary and medicinal practices, is native to the Mediterranean and is now cultivated worldwide for its calming fragrance and therapeutic properties. The plant is characterized by its slender, gray-green leaves and spiky purple blooms, which are shown in stunning detail in this engraving. The engraving's intricate design highlights the plant's delicate features, with the veins of its leaves and the individual petals of its flowers meticulously rendered. The background, adorned with elegant botanical illustrations, adds to the overall beauty and sophistication of the image. At the time of publication, Dr. Artus's "Handbook" was a groundbreaking resource for botanists, medical professionals, and students of natural history. The work featured detailed illustrations and descriptions of over 5,000 plants, making it an essential reference for those studying the medicinal and pharmaceutical properties of various plant species. This image of Lavender serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the enduring fascination with the natural world.
