EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving depicts Sedum album, commonly known as white stonecrop or houseleek. The illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's 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. Sedum album is a low-growing succulent plant, native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. Its small, white, five-petaled flowers bloom in late spring and summer, attracting various pollinators. The plant's fleshy leaves are succulent, allowing it to store water during dry periods, making it well-suited for rocky, sunny locations. In the botanical world, Sedum album has been studied for its medicinal properties. It has been used traditionally to treat wounds, burns, and skin conditions due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. The plant's mucilaginous leaves have been used to make a poultice, which is applied directly to the affected area. The intricate details of this botanical illustration showcase the beauty and complexity of Sedum album. The delicate shading and precise lines highlight the plant's unique features, from its tiny flowers to its succulent leaves. The use of multiple languages in the captions reflects the global reach of botanical knowledge during the Renaissance period, as scholars and explorers shared their discoveries across borders. This print is a testament to the rich history of botany and the importance of preserving and sharing knowledge about the natural world. Whether used for medicinal purposes or simply appreciated for its aesthetic value, Sedum album continues to captivate and inspire.
