EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving depicts Calystegia sepium, commonly known as Hedge Bindweed or Lesser Calystegia. The image is taken from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in various languages including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript. Calystegia sepium is a type of bindweed, a group of herbaceous, climbing plants characterized by their twining stems. This particular species is native to Europe and western Asia, and is often found growing in hedges, meadows, and along roadsides. The plant is also known by several other names, including Smilax levis, Major and Minor Calystegia, Volubilis, and Cissampelos levis. The botanical illustration showcases the plant's intricate details, from its heart-shaped leaves to its delicate, funnel-shaped flowers. The plant's vines are shown twining around a support, demonstrating its natural habit of climbing. The engraving's meticulous detail and vibrant colors make it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. Calystegia sepium has a long history of medicinal use. It was used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including wounds, ulcers, and skin conditions. The plant's roots were also used to make a tea that was believed to have sedative properties. Today, the plant is still used in traditional medicine in some parts of the world, and is also appreciated for its ornamental value in gardens.
