EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ipecacuan; Squill; Sarsaparilla; Copaiba" transports us back in time to the 19th century when botanical illustrations were highly treasured. Created by W. Fitch, a talented artist who flourished during the year 1872, this print showcases four remarkable plants - Ipecacuanha, Squill, Sarsaparilla, and Copaiba. Each plant depicted in this engraving holds its own unique significance. Ipecacuanha is known for its medicinal properties as an emetic and expectorant. Squill, with its vibrant blue flowers and bulbous roots, has been used throughout history for various therapeutic purposes. Sarsaparilla's twisted vines have long been utilized in traditional medicine as a blood purifier and tonic. Lastly, Copaiba resin has been valued for centuries due to its anti-inflammatory qualities. Originally featured in William Rhind's book "A History of the Vegetable Kingdom" published by Blackie in 1855, this illustration beautifully captures the intricate details of these plants' anatomy while providing insight into their historical importance. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with nature's bounty and our ongoing quest to harness its healing powers. Let us appreciate the artistry behind such botanical engravings that not only educate but also inspire awe at the wonders of our natural world.
