EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch captures the beauty and intricacy of two medicinal plants - Peony, Paeonia officinalis, and Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra. Dating back to 1557 in Frankfurt, this botanical illustration is a true masterpiece of the 16th century.
The detailed depiction of these plants showcases their importance in medicine and natural history during that time period. The delicate colors used to bring this print to life highlight the unique characteristics of each plant, making them stand out against the white background.
What makes this particular print even more special is that it comes from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas with captions in multiple languages including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to an already captivating piece.
Peony and Licorice have long been known for their medicinal properties and were highly valued by herbalists and physicians alike. Seeing them immortalized in such a beautifully crafted illustration gives us a glimpse into the past when these plants played a crucial role in healthcare practices.
Overall, this print serves as both a work of art and a valuable historical document that reminds us of the rich tradition of botanical illustrations throughout centuries.
