EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely drawn plate showcases Matricaria Chamomilla, a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, which was widely known during the late 19th century. The plant, commonly referred to as chamomile, has a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the characteristic features of the plant, including its daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers, and the finely divided, fern-like leaves. The plant is depicted in full bloom, with the delicate petals unfurled and the central disc flowers in their prime. Matricaria Chamomilla, also known as German chamomile, has a long history of medicinal use. It was valued for its calming properties and was used to treat various ailments, including digestive issues, anxiety, and insomnia. The plant was also used topically to soothe skin irritations and inflammation. However, it is important to note that the taxonomy of this plant has undergone revisions since this plate was drawn. It is now believed that Matricaria Chamomilla is most likely the same as Matricaria recutita or Chamomile, a plant with similar characteristics and medicinal properties. This historical plate provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and significance of a plant that has been used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes for centuries. The intricate details of the illustration serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the botanical illustrator, who captured the essence of the plant with remarkable accuracy and precision.
