EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving depicts two intriguing plants of the Old World and the New: the Prickly Poppy, Argemone mexicana, and Butcher's Broom, Ruscus aculeata. This botanical illustration is taken from the Krauterbuch, or Herbal, by the renowned German botanist and physician, Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to be from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, featuring captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. The Prickly Poppy, also known as the Mexican Poppy or Maguey, is a striking plant native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. Its vibrant, yellow-orange flowers are adorned with spiny bracts, making it a unique and eye-catching addition to any garden. The plant was valued by the ancient Greeks and Romans for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating wounds and pain. Butcher's Broom, on the other hand, is a shrub native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. Its name derives from its historical use as a broom for butchers due to its stiff, spiky leaves. In traditional medicine, the plant was used to treat various ailments, including hemorrhoids, edema, and rheumatism. This beautiful and intricately detailed woodcut engraving, with its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of botany and medicine during the Renaissance period. The inclusion of multiple language captions speaks to the global reach and influence of botanical knowledge during this time.
