EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases the deadly beauty of three poisonous plants - fools parsley, hemlock, and northern water hemlock. The intricate details in this botanical illustration bring to life the delicate features of each plant, from the feathery leaves of fools parsley to the distinctive purple spots on hemlock stems.
Fools parsley, also known as Aethusa cynapium, is often mistaken for its non-toxic counterpart but can be fatal if ingested. Hemlock, scientifically named Conium maculatum, was famously used as a method of execution in ancient Greece and is notorious for causing paralysis and death. Northern water hemlock, or Cicuta virosa, is considered one of the most toxic plants in North America with just a small amount being enough to kill a human.
Despite their lethal properties, these plants possess a certain allure that draws us in with their intricate shapes and vibrant colors. This engraving serves as a reminder of nature's duality - both beautiful and dangerous at the same time. Displayed as art rather than actual flora in your home or office space will surely spark conversation about the wonders and dangers found within our natural world.
