1. Title: "Black Henbane or Stinking Nightshade (Hyoscyamus niger): A Historical Botanical Illustration" This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Black Henbane or Stinking Nightshade (Hyoscyamus niger), a plant of historical significance in the realm of botany, pharmacy, and medicine. The illustration is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Black Henbane, also known as Schwarzes Bilsenkraut in German, is a nightshade species with a distinctive appearance. The plant is characterized by its large, glossy, and deeply lobed leaves, which emit an unpleasant odor when crushed. The bell-shaped flowers, which bloom in shades of purple and white, appear in late summer. The Black Henbane has a long history of medicinal use, dating back to ancient civilizations. It was used in traditional European medicine for various purposes, including as a sedative, antispasmodic, and antitussive. However, its use was not without risks, as the plant contains toxic alkaloids, such as hyoscyamine and scopolamine, which can lead to hallucinations, delirium, and other side effects when ingested in large quantities. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific knowledge of the time. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, making the plant's unique features stand out. The meticulous labeling and annotation in the illustration provide valuable information about the plant's botanical characteristics and medicinal uses. In conclusion, this stunning Black Henbane or Stinking Nightshade illustration is a valuable addition to any botanical, medical, or historical collection. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history of botanical discovery and the importance of plants in medicine.
