"78013: A Journey into the Dark and Enigmatic World of Poisonous Flora and Fauna" Step back in time to 1851, where Hemloc Mandrake Worwood's haunting illustration captures the essence of mystery and danger. The intricate details bring to life a world filled with secrets waiting to be unraveled. In 1896, a mesmerizing chromolithograph reveals the allure of Poisonous Mushrooms. Their vibrant colors hide deadly toxins, reminding us that beauty can often disguise peril. Amongst these dangerous plants lies Belladona or Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna), an enchanting yet treacherous flower. Its alluring purple hue conceals its lethal potential, serving as a reminder that appearances can deceive. Traveling further through time, we encounter another captivating Chromolithograph from 1884 showcasing more Poisonous Mushrooms. Each stroke on paper depicts their unique characteristics while warning against their toxic nature. Amidst this botanical labyrinth emerges Sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella). Though seemingly harmless at first glance, it possesses potent properties capable of causing harm if mishandled - a gentle reminder that even the most innocent-looking beings may hold hidden dangers. Venturing beyond flora into fauna territory, we come across the Indian Cobra (Naja naja) - an embodiment of both fear and fascination. Its elegant form is juxtaposed by its venomous bite; a creature commanding respect from afar. From Australia comes the Wolf Spider (Lycosidae), whose presence evokes shivers down our spines. This arachnid's stealthy movements remind us that danger lurks in unexpected places - teaching us to tread carefully in unfamiliar territories. Delving deeper into history through an engraving from 1888, we witness mushrooms taking center stage once again. Their delicate features are captured meticulously on paper; each line telling tales of their enigmatic existence. Viper snakes, engraved in 1853, slither into view.
