EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Dyers Alkanet, Alkanna tinctoria, a vibrant and historically significant medicinal and dye-producing plant. The image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, or Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. Dyers Alkanet, also known as Alkanna or Bugloss, is easily recognizable by its deep blue-purple flowers and fleshy, taproots. The plant has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for treating wounds and skin conditions, and as a natural dye source. The deep, rich hue produced by the plant's roots has been used to color textiles, cosmetics, and even food. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the printing process of the time. The label at the bottom of the image provides the plant's botanical name, Alkanna tinctoria, and its common names in various languages. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or medical collection. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, reflecting the advances in botanical knowledge and illustration techniques during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of medicinal and dye-producing plants and the importance of preserving and documenting this knowledge for future generations.
