EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two common herbs, Ladys Bedstraw (Galium verum) and Cleavers (Galium aparine), from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, "Krauterbuch," or "Herbal," published in Frankfurt in 1557. The intricately detailed illustration captures the delicate beauty of these plants, with Ladys Bedstraw depicted on the left and Cleavers on the right. Ladys Bedstraw, also known as Aspergula or Meadow Bedstraw, is identified by its small, yellow flowers and feathery seed heads. Traditionally used for making straw beds more comfortable, Ladys Bedstraw was believed to impart a pleasant fragrance and keep pests away. Its medicinal properties include anti-inflammatory and astringent effects, making it a popular remedy for skin conditions and menstrual cramps. Cleavers, or Goosegrass, is characterized by its small, pinkish-white flowers and sticky stems that cling to clothing. Historically used for various medicinal purposes, Cleavers was believed to have cooling and diuretic properties, and was employed to treat skin irritations, inflammation, and swelling. This botanical illustration is a testament to the intricate artistry and scientific accuracy of the 16th century. The woodblock engraving is part of a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, featuring captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The rich history and cultural significance of these herbs are beautifully preserved in this timeless work of art.
