This print showcases a page from the renowned book "Medicine through plants and their virtues - in 'Des profits champtres et ruraux' by Pierre de Crescent, Paris, 1500". The image transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the world of botanical medicine and herbalism. The intricate engraving depicts a scene of utmost importance: distillation. A skilled herbalist is carefully extracting medicinal properties from various plants, symbolizing the art of healing through nature's gifts. This visual representation highlights the profound connection between humans and plants when it comes to health and well-being. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every leaf, stem, and flower is meticulously rendered with precision.

As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how ancient civilizations relied on plant-based remedies for their ailments. The figure resembling a doctor signifies that these practices were not only trusted but also respected within society. In an era where modern medicine dominates our healthcare systems, this photograph invites us to reflect on our roots – reminding us that there is still much wisdom to be gained from exploring traditional methods of care.
