EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored botanical copperplate engraving, taken from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, showcases the intricate details of two willowherb species: Square Willowherb (Filipendula ulmaria) and Creeping Willowherb (Epilobium montanum). The image, published in London in 1792 by W. Locke, is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the time. Square Willowherb, also known as Meadowsweet, is a perennial herb that grows up to 1.5 meters tall. Its distinctive square stems are adorned with small, pink or white flowers that bloom in clusters. The plant is native to Europe, Asia, and northern America, and can be found in damp meadows and riverbanks. The plant was highly valued in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. Creeping Willowherb, on the other hand, is a low-growing, creeping perennial that forms dense mats. Its small, pink or purple flowers bloom in clusters and are borne on long, slender spikes. The plant is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and can be found in meadows, grasslands, and waste places. The plant was also used in traditional medicine for its astringent and diuretic properties. The intricate details of the veins on the leaves, the delicate petals of the flowers, and the precise shading of the engraving all serve to highlight the beauty and complexity of these two willowherb species. This engraving is not only a valuable resource for botanical research but also a stunning work of art that showcases the skill and dedication of the botanical illustrators and engravers of the past.
