EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Queen Anne's Lace, also known as Wild Carrot (Daucus carota). The image is a woodcut illustration from John Gerard's renowned botanical work, Herball, published in 1597 during the late Renaissance period. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to appreciate the complexity and elegance of nature's creations. Each leaf and root depicted in this artwork highlights the meticulous craftsmanship of Gerard, an esteemed botanist and herbalist. Queen Anne's Lace is a wildflower that flourishes in meadows and fields with its lacy white flowers resembling delicate lace umbrellas. Its name originates from a legend that Queen Anne of England pricked her finger while making lace, causing a drop of blood to fall onto the flower. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Queen Anne's Lace has significant biological importance. It belongs to the carrot family (Apiaceae) and shares many characteristics with its domesticated relative, Daucus carota sativus - our beloved orange carrot. As we admire this exquisite woodcut art piece, let it serve as a reminder of both nature's splendor and humanity's enduring fascination with botanical wonders.
