EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving depicts the Northern wolfsbane, Aconitum lycoctonum, from the Herbal, or Krauterbuch, of Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the plant's distinctive features, including its tall, sturdy stem adorned with large, glossy leaves and bell-shaped, hooded flowers. The Northern wolfsbane, also known as Monkshood, is a highly toxic plant that has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. The plant derives its common name from its historical use as a means to poison wolves and other predators, as well as its resemblance to a monk's hood. This particular illustration is from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of the Herbal, which includes captions in multiple languages: Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The Latin caption reads "Aconitum Lycoctonum," while the English translation is "Wolfsbane, Monkshood." The Herbal by Adam Lonicer was an influential botanical work that showcased a wide range of medicinal plants and their uses. The intricately detailed illustrations, such as this one of the Northern wolfsbane, were produced using the woodcut and engraving techniques that were popular during the Renaissance period. Despite its toxicity, the Northern wolfsbane has a rich history in botany, medicine, and folklore. This beautiful illustration serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Renaissance era.
