EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic print takes us on a journey through time, immersing us in the rich history of botany and ancient legends. The image showcases a full-length illustration of a Centaury plant from a 13th-century Anglo-Norman herbal, meticulously crafted during the Middle Ages. Its vertical composition allows every intricate detail to be admired, as if holding this botanical treasure in our own hands. The Centaury plant derives its name from Chiron the Centaur, an iconic figure in Ancient Greek mythology renowned for his healing abilities. Legend has it that Chiron cured himself from a poisoned arrow wound using this very herb - Centaury. Fascinatingly, even the Anglo-Saxons recognized its medicinal properties and employed it as an antidote for snake bites. The anthropomorphic nature of this painting adds another layer of intrigue to the scene; we can almost envision Chiron himself tending to these plants with care and wisdom. The Latin script accompanying the illustration further emphasizes its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art and craftmanship, we are transported back to an era where knowledge was preserved through meticulous illustrations like these. It serves as a testament to British culture's deep-rooted connection with nature and medicine throughout centuries past
