EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elecampane" takes us back to the 18th century, when Elizabeth Blackwell's A Curious Herbal was published. The plate, number 473 in the series, showcases a vibrant and detailed colour engraving of this medicinal plant. The Elecampane, also known as Helenium or Wild Sunflower, is depicted with utmost precision and beauty. Its tall stem adorned with bright yellow flowers stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery. This herb holds great significance in traditional medicine for its healing properties. Intriguingly referred to as horseheal or scabwort, this plant has long been recognized for its curative powers. It was believed to possess magical qualities that could heal both humans and animals alike. In fact, it was often used by bonesetters and healers to treat various ailments in horses. The delicately engraved details bring out the texture of the leaves and petals while capturing the essence of this remarkable plant. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and reverence towards nature's remedies. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of the timeless connection between humans and plants – their ability to provide solace and healing throughout history. Let us appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this print but also the profound knowledge embedded within it about our relationship with nature's pharmacy.
