Licorice, a versatile and fascinating plant, has left its mark on various aspects of history and culture. From the Licorice Bike that adds a touch of whimsy to the streets, to the blue flowered common liquorice plant known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, it has captivated our senses for centuries. In the bustling Parisian streets of the 19th and early 20th century, one could find The Coconut Merchant with his refreshing drink flavored with licorice. Alongside him stood a picturesque fountain, both becoming familiar figures in this vibrant cityscape. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's exquisite drawing showcases licorice in all its glory - from its flowers and leaves to its bark and woody branches. Handcolored stipple copperplate engravings bring out every intricate detail of this remarkable plant. Wild licorice, scientifically known as Astragalus glycyphyllos, adds an element of untamed beauty to nature's tapestry. Its presence alongside peonies creates a stunning contrast between delicate petals and robust roots. Venturing beyond borders, Indian licorice or Abrus precatorius introduces us to new flavors and medicinal properties associated with this enchanting herb. It highlights how different cultures have embraced licorice throughout history. The marriage between liquorice and carob tree exemplifies nature's harmonious partnerships. These two plants complement each other perfectly while offering their unique attributes for our enjoyment. Commercially cultivated Glycyrrhiza glabra plants demonstrate humanity's desire to harness the benefits of this extraordinary herb on a larger scale. Their colored engravings showcase their importance in industries ranging from confectionery to medicine. Lastly, we delve into the world of drugs where color lithographs depict various forms of processed licorices used for medicinal purposes. This reminds us that behind its delightful taste lies an array of potential health benefits.
