EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored botanical copperplate engraving depicts the Field Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) and Cow Cress (Cruciferae: Barbara-vulgaris) from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the distinct features of each plant, with the Field Pennycress on the left and Cow Cress on the right. Field Pennycress, also known as Poor Man's Pepper, is a small annual herb that belongs to the Brassicaceae family. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and its yellow flowers bloom from May to September. The plant was used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including as a diuretic, expectorant, and to treat wounds. Cow Cress, also known as Sheep's Nettle or Wild Mustard, is a low-growing herb that is commonly found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is characterized by its small white or yellow flowers and pungent smell. Cow Cress was used in herbal medicine for various purposes, including as a remedy for coughs, colds, and as a poultice for wounds. The botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of beauty and accuracy to the already intricate engraving. This historical piece is an essential addition to any botanical or medical collection, providing a glimpse into the rich history of herbal medicine and botany.
