EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored botanical engraving, taken from Joshua Hamilton's expanded edition of Culpeper's English Family Physician or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792, showcases two intriguing plants: Knapwort Harshweed (kn knapweed, Centaurea nigra) and Common Saw-wort (Serratula tinctoria). The meticulous copperplate engraving, produced by an unknown artist, captures the intricate details of each plant's morphology, revealing their unique characteristics. Knapwort Harshweed, also known as Black Knapweed or Hardhead, is a perennial herb with a distinctive, prickly stem and blue or purple flower heads. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, it was believed to have various therapeutic properties, including the ability to treat wounds, fever, and digestive issues. Common Saw-wort, also known as Dyer's Serratula or Common Serratula, is a biennial or short-lived perennial herb. It is characterized by its serrated leaves and pink or purple flower heads, which bloom in late summer. Historically, this plant was used for a variety of medicinal purposes, including the treatment of wounds, inflammation, and skin conditions. The intricate details of these plants, as depicted in this beautiful hand-colored engraving, serve as a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of herbal medicine in the past. The engraving also provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world, showcasing the beauty and diversity of these two intriguing plants.
