EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Yellow Archangel, Lamium galeobdolon (also known as Galeobdolon luteum), a charming plant native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The intricate detail of the engraving, created by James Sowerby and published in James Smith's English Botany in 1800, allows us to appreciate the delicate features of this lovely plant. The Yellow Archangel, also known as the Archangel or Archangel's Tongue, is a low-growing herb with heart-shaped, toothed leaves that are often tinged with pink or purple, and yellow, two-lipped flowers that bloom in late spring. The plant's name, Lamium galeobdolon, comes from the Greek words "lamia," meaning "given to the gods," and "galeos," meaning "milk," likely referring to the plant's milky sap. The Yellow Archangel is a popular addition to herb gardens and natural history collections due to its attractive foliage and elegant flowers. It is also known for its medicinal properties, as it has been used traditionally to treat various ailments, including wounds, sore throats, and gastrointestinal issues. This stunning engraving is a testament to the natural beauty and scientific curiosity of the past. It invites us to explore the natural world and appreciate the intricacies of the plants that surround us. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcolouring techniques bring the Yellow Archangel to life, making it a true work of art and an invaluable addition to any botanical collection.
