EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured woodblock engraving from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch showcases the beauty and intricacy of Spinach, Spinachia oleracea, and eyebright, Euphrasia species. Dating back to 1557 in Frankfurt, this botanical illustration is a true testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of early herbalists.
The detailed depiction of these plants is not only visually captivating but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding their medicinal properties. In a time when natural remedies were essential for treating various ailments, illustrations like these played a crucial role in educating physicians and apothecaries.
What makes this particular print even more fascinating is its inclusion in a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas with captions in multiple languages - Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. This international appeal speaks to the universal interest in botany and herbal medicine during that era.
