EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is a botanical illustration of Wheat, Triticum aestivum, and Barley, Hordeum vulgare, taken from the Krauterbuch or Herbal by Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to be from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, making it a rare and valuable find. The intricate detail in this engraving showcases the distinct characteristics of each grain, with the wheat displaying its elongated grains encased within the protective husk, and the barley presenting its three-rowed spikelets. The Krauterbuch was an influential herbal text, used extensively in Europe during the Renaissance period for medicinal and botanical purposes. The work was translated into various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English, as evidenced by the manuscript captions in the image. The botanical accuracy and artistic merit of this woodcut engraving are evident, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical botanical illustrations. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of beauty and intrigue, enhancing the overall appeal of this rare and fascinating piece of historical botanical art.
