EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Botanical Harmony: Teasel, Dipsacus fullonum, and Pale Globe Thistle (Echinops sphaerocephalus) This handcoloured woodblock engraving, hailing from the 16th century, showcases two intriguing plants: the Teasel, Dipsacus fullonum, and the Pale Globe Thistle, Echinops sphaerocephalus. The meticulously crafted illustration is an excerpt from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, "Krauterbuch," or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The Teasel, also known as the common teasel, is depicted on the left. Its distinctive features include its prickly, urn-shaped inflorescence and tall, sturdy stem. Historically, the plant was used for various purposes, including as a textile tool to raise the nap on cloth and in traditional herbal medicine for treating ailments such as gout, rheumatism, and skin conditions. On the right, the Pale Globe Thistle, or Chamaeleon niger, displays its striking, spherical, blue-purple blooms. This thistle was valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its ability to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. The illustration itself is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of the woodblock printing process. The vibrant colours add depth and dimension to the plants, making this a truly captivating piece. This specific print is from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of the original illustrations, featuring captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscripts. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a testament to the rich history of botany, herbal medicine, and the art of botanical illustration.
