EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored botanical copperplate engraving, taken from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792, showcases two intriguing plants of the Asteraceae family: Sticky groundsel, Senecio viscosus, and ragwort, Jacobaea vulgaris. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate the unique features of each plant. Sticky groundsel, depicted on the left, is characterized by its sticky, velvety leaves and yellow flowers. The plant's common name derives from the sticky substance that covers its leaves, which helps to protect it from herbivores. Sticky groundsel has a long history of medicinal use, with traditional applications including the treatment of wounds, burns, and skin conditions. Ragwort, depicted on the right, is easily recognized by its distinctive, bright yellow flowers and large, lobed leaves. Ragwort has a more complex relationship with humans, as while it has been used as a traditional herbal remedy for various ailments, it is also considered a noxious weed in some areas due to its toxicity to livestock. The plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be harmful if ingested. This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the engraver but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical exploration and medicinal plant use. The intricate details captured in this image offer a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural world and the knowledge that was passed down through generations.
