1. Title: "A Bouquet of Corn Marigold and Oxeye Daisies: A Botanical Delight from the Past" This handcolored botanical print showcases two enchanting wildflowers, the Corn Marigold (Chrysanthemum segetum) and the Oxeye Daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum), as depicted in Joshua Hamilton's "Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal" published in 1792. The intricately detailed copperplate engraving, produced by W. Locke in London, offers a glimpse into the rich history of herbal medicine and botanical exploration during the late 18th century. The Corn Marigold, with its golden-yellow petals and dark-centered disc florets, is a common sight in cornfields and meadows across Europe and North America. Traditionally used for medicinal purposes, it was believed to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antispasmodic properties. Corn Marigold was also used topically to treat wounds, bruises, and skin irritations. The Oxeye Daisy, characterized by its white petals and yellow center, is a beloved wildflower that graces roadsides, meadows, and pastures. In the botanical world, it is also known as the Marguerite Daisy or the Common Daisy. Historically, this versatile plant was utilized for various medicinal purposes, including the treatment of wounds, fever, and digestive issues. This stunning botanical print not only serves as a testament to the artistic mastery of the past but also highlights the deep connection between humans and the natural world. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and healing properties of these humble wildflowers, while reminding us of the rich history of herbal medicine and botanical exploration.
