EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is a botanical illustration of Eyebright, Euphrasia rostkoviana, and Heal-all, Stachys citrina, taken from the herbal publication "Krauterbuch" or "Herbal" by Adam Lonicer, printed in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in various languages including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. Eyebright, also known as Euphrasia rostkoviana and Euphrasia vulgaris, is a small herbaceous plant with white or pink flowers that grows in Europe and Asia. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, Eyebright was believed to have healing properties for the eyes, particularly for inflammation and redness. The plant's common name derives from its ability to brighten the eyes. Heal-all, also known as Stachys citrina, Stachys citrinum, Stachys amarantha, and Stachys lutea, is a low-growing perennial herb with yellow or orange flowers. It is native to Europe and Asia and has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including wounds, bruises, and respiratory issues. The plant's common name comes from its reputed ability to heal all ills. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this woodblock engraving showcase the beauty and complexity of these two plants, which continue to be of interest to botanists, herbalists, and collectors alike. The presence of multiple language captions in this print underscores the global reach and impact of botanical knowledge during the Renaissance period.
