EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two members of the Allium genus, Garlic, Allium sativum, and Wild Garlic, Allium vineale. Dating back to the 16th century, this botanical illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt. The image is part of a pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, which includes captions in various languages such as Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. Garlic, the widely cultivated bulbous herb, has been an essential ingredient in various cuisines and traditional medicines for centuries. Its use dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. The engraving accurately depicts the plant's distinctive features, including its umbel inflorescence and bulbous root. Wild Garlic, also known as Ramsons or Bear Leek, is a wild relative of Garlic. It is characterized by its broad, round, and slightly heart-shaped leaves, which emit a garlic-like aroma when crushed. The plant is native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America and is often found growing in wooded areas. The illustration captures the intricacies of its leaves and the delicate white flowers that bloom in the spring. Botanical illustrations like these played a crucial role in the advancement of botany and medicine during the Renaissance period. They provided accurate records of various plant species, facilitating the discovery and documentation of new medicinal plants. This particular engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic mastery of the time.
