EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Black henbane or stinking nightshade, also known as Hyoscyamus niger or Jusquiame noire. Created by Louis Joseph Edouard Maubert in the 19th century, this handcoloured steel engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of this botanical wonder. The image depicts a shrub-like plant with vibrant green leaves and delicate purple flowers. However, don't be fooled by its alluring appearance, as this plant is highly toxic and psychoactive. Used in herbal medicine during that time period, it was believed to have medicinal properties despite its poisonous nature. Maubert's botanical illustration skillfully highlights every aspect of the Black henbane's structure and form. The artist's attention to detail is evident in each stroke of color on the print. This artwork serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that can exist within nature. It offers us a glimpse into agricultural practices from centuries past when plants like these were cultivated for their various uses. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic value or find fascination in its historical significance, this print provides an intriguing window into the world of botany and medical botany specifically.
