EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the garlic bulb, Allium sativum, a widely used herb in medicine and cooking for centuries. Garlic, also known as "knoblauch" in German, is a bulbous perennial plant with a distinctive pungent flavor and aroma. The cloves, which are the individual segments of the bulb, are commonly used for their medicinal properties and culinary applications. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving, taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse (Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants), published in Jena, Germany, in 1876, showcase the beauty and complexity of the garlic bulb. The engraving accurately illustrates the various layers of the bulb, including the papery skin, the individual cloves, and the central root plate. Garlic has a rich history in traditional medicine, with records of its use dating back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It was believed to have various health benefits, including the ability to ward off illness, improve digestion, and boost the immune system. Today, garlic is still widely used in modern medicine for its antimicrobial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. The botanical illustration also highlights the importance of accurate plant identification and documentation in scientific research and medical practice. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques demonstrate the skill and expertise of the artist and the importance of preserving natural history through art and science.
