EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1483 depicts a Male Mandrake plant, showcasing its intriguing history and medicinal properties. The Mandrake root was highly sought after for its soporific qualities, with records suggesting that even the Babylonians were aware of its benefits. Roman army surgeons reportedly utilized Mandrake wine as an anesthetic during their procedures, while medieval times also witnessed the use of this remarkable plant for similar purposes. The artwork portrays the full length of the Male Mandrake plant standing proudly against a pristine white background. Its delicate flower blooms gracefully atop leafy branches, providing a striking contrast to the nakedness of its roots below. This studio shot captures every intricate detail in exquisite front view. Crafted by Johannis de Cuba and featured in "Ortus Sanitatis" this woodcut illustration technique transports us back to Strasbourg in the 15th century. The male likeness exudes wisdom through his long beard and contemplative gaze away from our sight. As we admire this historical masterpiece, it serves as a reminder of how healthcare and medicine have evolved over time. Anesthetics like those derived from Mandrake plants played crucial roles in alleviating pain during medical procedures centuries ago. This print is not affiliated with any commercial use but rather offers us a glimpse into our past—a testament to art's ability to preserve history and knowledge for generations to come.
