EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored botanical engraving depicts the Upright or Cutleaf Water Parsnip, Berula erecta, as it was illustrated in Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases the unique features of this aquatic plant, with its slender, upright stems adorned with delicate, cutleaf-like structures. The Water Parsnip is a valuable aquatic plant, historically used for both medicinal and culinary purposes. The engraving was produced using the copperplate technique, a method popular during the 18th and 19th centuries for creating detailed and accurate botanical illustrations. The process involved creating an engraving on a copper plate, which was then inked and pressed onto paper to produce the final image. The handcoloring added to this print further enhances the visual appeal, bringing the plant to life with vivid colors and shading. Nicolas Culpeper, a renowned English herbalist, is credited for the original text in this publication, which was expanded upon by Sir John Hill. The work contained descriptions and uses of over 1,800 plants, making it an essential resource for those interested in herbal medicine during this time. The inclusion of the Upright or Cutleaf Water Parsnip in this publication highlights its historical significance and continued relevance in the study of botany and natural history. This beautiful botanical engraving not only serves as a testament to the intricacies of the natural world but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering insight into the rich history of herbal medicine and botanical illustration.
