EDITORS COMMENTS
Greater Celandine, scientifically known as Chelidonium majus, is a perennial herb that belongs to the Poppy family (Papaveraceae). This stunning chromolithograph is an exquisite representation of the plant, created by the renowned botanical illustrator Walther Müller for Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. The Greater Celandine, also known as Tetterwort or Nipplewort, is native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive yellow, nodding flowers that bloom from late spring to early autumn. The plant's name, Chelidonium, comes from the Greek words "chele," meaning horseshoe, and "dounai," meaning to give, referring to the horseshoe-shaped markings on the stem and the milky sap that the plant exudes when cut. The medicinal properties of Greater Celandine have been known since ancient times. It was used by the Greeks and Romans for various ailments, including skin conditions, jaundice, and liver problems. The plant contains several bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective properties. The illustration captures the intricate details of the plant's anatomy, from its palmate leaves with lobed margins to its distinctive yellow flowers. The chromolithograph technique used to create this print allowed for a high level of detail and vibrant colors, making it an invaluable resource for botanical and medical research. Today, Greater Celandine continues to be used in herbal medicine, particularly for treating liver and gallbladder disorders, and as a blood purifier. This beautiful and informative print is a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of documenting the natural world for scientific and medicinal purposes.
