EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Henbane or Stinking Nightshade (Hyoscyamus niger), a fascinating and historically significant plant. The illustration is taken from Herbier de la France, a comprehensive botanical work compiled by the renowned French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard in Paris during the year 1780. Henbane, also known as Black Nightshade, is a poisonous plant that has been known since ancient times for its hallucinogenic properties. The plant's dark, glossy berries and attractive bell-shaped flowers conceal its deadly nature. The engraving captures the plant's intricate details, from the wavy edges of its leaves to the delicate veins and the small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters. Bulliard's meticulous work showcases the beauty and complexity of Henbane, a plant that has held both fascination and fear throughout history. The plant was used in ancient Greece and Rome for medicinal purposes, as well as for rituals and divination. However, its toxic properties could lead to severe poisoning or even death if not handled with care. The hand-coloring technique adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the engraving, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history of botanical exploration and documentation.
