EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a handcoloured copperplate engraving of the Black Horehound, Ballota nigra (Ballote noire), taken from James Smith's English Botany in London, 1792. The intricate botanical illustration was created by James Sowerby, a renowned artist of his time. The image transports us back to the 18th century, where natural history and botanical knowledge were highly valued. It is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Sowerby and his ability to capture the essence of this unique plant. Black Horehound, with its delicate flowers and slender stems, takes center stage in this composition. Its beauty is enhanced by the vibrant hand-colouring technique used on the copperplate engraving.

The Black Horehound was known for its medicinal properties and was commonly used as a remedy for various ailments. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of England's rich botanical heritage and how it has contributed to our understanding of plants throughout history.
