EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Stork's Bill, or Erodium cicutarium, also known as Geranium seu Noctu-Olens. The image is taken from Professor Filippo Arenas' seminal work, "La natura e cultura dei fiori fisicamente esposta" (The Nature and Culture of Flowers Physically Displayed), published in Palermo, Italy, in 1771. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of this print are a testament to the skill of the engraver, Mario Cammerari. The Stork's Bill is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. Its common name derives from the distinctive shape of its seed pods, which resemble the beak of a stork. The plant produces small, pink or white flowers with five petals, arranged in a rosette at the base of the stem. The leaves are palmate, with lobes that are deeply incised. The Stork's Bill was highly prized in European gardens during the 18th and 19th centuries for its ornamental value. It was also used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including as a diuretic and to treat wounds. The plant's seeds were believed to have aphrodisiac properties and were used in love potions. This beautiful print is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history and cultural significance of the Stork's Bill during the Enlightenment period in Europe. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
