Her book, "A Curious Herbal, " showcased her intricate illustrations that brought to life various plants and spices. In 1735, Blackwell's line engraving of a vibrant chili pepper graced the pages of her book, showcasing her attention to detail and artistic prowess. The same year, she also depicted the cardamom plant with its seedpod, capturing its exotic allure. Blackwell's talents extended beyond botanical illustrations as well. In 1782, she skillfully portrayed horseradish in all its glory. This versatile artist was not afraid to explore different subjects either - from musket exercises to scenes of accidents on Islington streets in London. Her work continued to amaze with an enchanting depiction of fennel in 1782. Each stroke revealed her dedication to accuracy and beauty.
