EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the exquisite beauty and deadly nature of Atropa belladonna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade. Published in 1864, this engraving is a testament to the rich history and scientific exploration of our natural world. Atropa belladonna belongs to the Solanaceae family, also known as the nightshade family. Its striking purple flowers and dark berries are visually captivating, but beneath its alluring appearance lies a potent poison. This perennial herbaceous plant has long been recognized for its toxic properties. In earlier times, this plant was utilized for medicinal purposes due to its powerful effects on the human body.
