EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving depicts various chickweed (Stellaria media) specimens, as illustrated in Adam Lonicer's influential herbal, "Krauterbuch," or "Herbal," published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to originate from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, featuring captions in multiple languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. Chickweed, also known as Stellaria media, is a low-growing, herbaceous plant that belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. Its common names include Alsine, Vulgaris, and Stellaria altera, and it is commonly found in temperate regions around the world. The plant is characterized by its small, tender leaves, which form dense mats that trail along the ground. Chickweed is renowned for its numerous medicinal properties and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The Latin name Stellaria media translates to "starry one of the middle," referring to the tiny, star-shaped white flowers that bloom in the center of the plant. The engraving captures the delicate details of these flowers, along with the intricacies of the plant's leaves and stems. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection. This woodcut engraving is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of early botanical illustrations. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical record of chickweed and its various uses, as well as the global exchange of knowledge during the Renaissance period. The presence of multiple language captions underscores the importance of cross-cultural communication and the dissemination of botanical knowledge throughout Europe and beyond.
