1. Title: Harmonious Coexistence of Hornbeam and Eglantine Rose: A Botanical Delight from the 16th Century This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving showcases the harmonious coexistence of two enchanting plants: the Hornbeam, Carpinus species, and the Eglantine Rose, Rosa canina. The illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned botanical work, "Krauterbuch," or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The Hornbeam tree, represented here as Carpinus species, is a hardy and long-lived deciduous tree native to Europe. Its distinctive, smooth, and grey bark, along with its compact and rounded shape, make it a popular choice for landscaping and hedging. The tree's name, "hornbeam," is derived from its hard, horn-like wood. Adorning the base of the Hornbeam is the Eglantine Rose, Rosa canina, also known as the Sweetbriar or Dog Rose. This wild rose species is characterized by its prickly stems and clusters of fragrant, pink to white flowers. The Eglantine Rose is not only visually appealing but also holds medicinal value. Its hips, or fruit, are rich in vitamin C and have been traditionally used to make jams, jellies, and medicinal teas. This botanical illustration is a testament to the intricate details and beauty of nature, captured in the 16th century. The woodblock engraving is adorned with captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscripts, reflecting the global reach of botanical knowledge during this era. This image is a treasure from the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of botany and the appreciation for the natural world that transcends time and language.
