The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Joshua Hamilton, showcases the intricate details of this evergreen perennial herb. Anchusa sempervirens, commonly known as Evergreen Alkanet or Blue Alkanet, is native to the Mediterranean region. The plant is characterized by its attractive, velvety, and glossy, dark green leaves, which remain evergreen throughout the year, and its blue or purple flowers that bloom in late spring. The plant's roots contain a deep blue dye, which was historically used for textiles and cosmetics. The medicinal properties of Evergreen Alkanet have been known since ancient times. It was used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including wounds, ulcers, and skin conditions. The plant was also believed to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antispasmodic properties. This botanical engraving is a testament to the rich history of herbal medicine and the importance of documenting the natural world. The intricate details of the plant's anatomy, captured through the art of copperplate engraving, provide a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historically important plant.
