EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Botanical Discovery: Field Southernwood and Sea Wormwood" This exquisitely handcolored botanical copperplate engraving, taken from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, showcases the intricate details of two fascinating plants - Field Southernwood (Artemisia campestris) and Sea Wormwood (Artemisia maritima). Dating back to 1792, this engraving was published by W. Locke in London, and is a testament to the rich history of herbal medicine and botanical exploration. Field Southernwood, also known as Wild Chamomile or Wild Caraway, is a native European plant with delicate white flowers and feathery foliage. Traditionally used for its calming and antiseptic properties, it was employed in various medicinal applications, including the treatment of digestive issues, respiratory problems, and even as a mosquito repellent. Sea Wormwood, on the other hand, is a coastal plant with silver-gray leaves and yellow-green flowers. It was highly valued for its medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of digestive disorders, intestinal parasites, and as a vermifuge. The plant's name is derived from its historical use as a wormwood substitute, as it was believed to expel intestinal worms. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the importance of herbal medicine in the past. The intricate details of the plants, meticulously captured through the copperplate engraving process, offer a glimpse into the world of natural remedies and the fascination with the plant kingdom that has endured throughout the centuries.
