EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the Nicotiana Tabacum, also known as the Tobacco Plant, takes us back in time to 1636 when it was described by Gerard as the "Henbane of Peru." The historical significance of this plant is evident in its mention by Gerard, a renowned botanist and herbalist of his time. The image captures the essence of this plant with its lush green leaves and delicate flowers. It is fascinating to think that some people could not forbeare it, even in the midst of their dinner, according to Gerard's writings. This speaks volumes about the allure and importance placed on tobacco during that period. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a different era where plants like Nicotiana Tabacum held great value and significance. Its history is rich and complex, intertwined with cultural practices and beliefs that have shaped our understanding of plants today. While we may not be able to fully comprehend the reasons why some could not resist tobacco even during mealtime, we can appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this plant through this stunning image. Let us marvel at its historical roots and reflect on how far we have come since Gerard first wrote about it centuries ago.
