EDITORS COMMENTS
Great Water Dock: A Vibrant Depiction of Rumex hydrolapathum from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician This exquisite handcolored botanical copperplate engraving showcases the Great Water Dock, Rumex hydrolapathum, a plant of significant historical and botanical interest. The image is taken from Joshua Hamilton's expanded edition of Culpeper's English Family Physician, first published in 1792. The Great Water Dock is a large, aquatic or semi-aquatic plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Its distinctive features are on full display in this engraving, with its broad, lobed leaves and long, slender stems submerged in water. The plant's vibrant green coloration is beautifully rendered in the handcoloring, adding to its visual appeal. The botanical illustration was produced during the height of the Enlightenment, a period of great scientific discovery and exploration. Botanical engravings like this one were an essential tool for the study and documentation of new and exotic plants. They were used by botanists, physicians, and collectors to expand knowledge in the fields of botany, medicine, and natural history. This particular engraving is attributed to Sir John Hill, a prominent figure in the world of 18th-century botanical publishing. Hill was known for his extensive botanical collections and his collaboration with other notable botanical illustrators of the time. The engraving is published by W. Locke, a London-based publisher who specialized in scientific and medical works. The Great Water Dock has a long history of medicinal use, particularly in traditional European herbal medicine. The plant was believed to have various therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects. Today, it remains of interest to botanists, historians, and collectors for its botanical and historical significance.
