EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock engraving showcases two intriguing herbs from the botanical world: Perennial Yellow Woundwort (Stachys recta, also known as Sideritis quarta) and Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger). Dating back to the 16th century, this botanical illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt. This specific print is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas, featuring captions in multiple languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. Perennial Yellow Woundwort, also known as Common Woundwort or Fifth Wound Herb, is a hardy perennial herb with yellow flowers. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, it was believed to have healing properties for wounds and to promote the healing of bruises. The plant's leaves were used to make a tea or applied directly to the affected area. Henbane, on the other hand, is a poisonous herb with bell-shaped, white or purple flowers. Historically, it was used for various medicinal purposes, including as a painkiller, sedative, and treatment for gastrointestinal issues. However, it was also known for its hallucinogenic properties and was used in witchcraft and divination. Due to its toxicity, it is important to note that handling and consumption of Henbane should only be done under the guidance of a qualified medical professional. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of this botanical illustration serve as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 16th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the traditional uses of these plants and the importance of botanical knowledge during this period.
