Common Speedwell: Veronica officinalis, a Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving from James Smith's English Botany (1800) This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the Common Speedwell, Veronica officinalis, a beautiful and historically significant plant in the natural history of botany. The engraving is based on a drawing by the renowned botanical artist James Sowerby, as part of James Smith's English Botany, published in 1800. Veronica officinalis, commonly known as Common Speedwell, is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is characterized by its attractive, blue-violet, tubular flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer. The plant's leaves are lanceolate, with a serrated edge, and grow oppositely along the stem. The Common Speedwell holds a rich history in natural history and botany. It was widely used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including wounds, sore throats, and eye infections. The plant's common name, 'speedwell,' is derived from the Old English 'speowendel,' meaning 'healer of wounds.' This stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of botanical illustration during the 18th and 19th centuries. The delicate shading and vibrant colours bring the Common Speedwell to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance in the natural world. The engraving is a valuable addition to any botanical collection, providing a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the fascinating world of plants. This image invites us to explore the natural history of the Common Speedwell and the many wonders of the botanical garden.
