EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the world of medicinal plants in a pharmaceutical garden. The scene depicts a bustling medieval garden where women and men are diligently engaged in harvesting and gathering various herbs and flowers. The vibrant colors of the flower beds create an enchanting backdrop for this ancient occupation. In this illustration from Livre des simples medecines, part of the esteemed collection at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we witness the meticulous work of these skilled apothecaries. With baskets in hand, they carefully select and collect nature's remedies that will later be transformed into life-saving medicines. The raised beds showcase an array of plant species meticulously arranged to optimize growth and accessibility. This harmonious blend of art media and science reflects both the practicality and beauty inherent in medieval gardening practices. As we observe this snapshot from centuries ago, it is evident that herbal medicine played a vital role in society during that era. The image not only highlights the importance placed on natural remedies but also sheds light on the diverse professions available to both men and women during those times. This extraordinary print serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage while honoring those who dedicated their lives to understanding nature's healing properties.
