EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a Yellow flowered great broad-leaved mullein, scientifically known as Verbascum thapsus. The handcolored copperplate engraving was created by the talented artist James Sowerby for William Woodville and Sir William Jackson Hooker's renowned book "Medical Botany" in 1832. Sowerby's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this botanical illustration, which captures the intricate features of the mullein plant. Its large yellow flowers stand out against its broad leaves, creating a striking visual contrast.
