1. Title: Ivy-leaved Toadflax and Rose Root: A Botanical Discovery from the 16th Century This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two remarkable plants from the botanical world: Ivy-leaved Toadflax (Cymbalaria muralis) and Rose Root (Rhodiola rosea radix). The illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, "Krauterbuch," or Herbal, published 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. The Ivy-leaved Toadflax, also known as Cymbalaria muralis, is depicted gracefully adorned with its characteristic heart-shaped leaves, reminiscent of ivy. This herbaceous perennial plant is native to Europe and is renowned for its attractive, violet-blue flowers. Historically, it has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including wounds, bruises, and skin conditions. The Rose Root, or Rhodiola rosea radix, is illustrated as a tuberous root with a fibrous structure. This plant, native to the Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its adaptogenic properties. It is believed to help the body cope with stress, fatigue, and other health challenges. This botanical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of plant discovery and the evolution of botanical knowledge. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the woodblock engraving serve as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past.
