EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored botanical copperplate engraving is a captivating illustration of Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) and Spignel (Fumaria officinalis), as depicted in Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the distinct features of both plants, with Poison Hemlock depicted on the left and Spignel on the right. Poison Hemlock, also known as Conium, is a highly toxic plant that has been responsible for numerous fatalities throughout history. Its tall, umbelliferous inflorescence is adorned with white flowers, while its leaves are characterized by their deep, purple spots. The plant's toxicity comes from the alkaloid coniine, which can cause paralysis and death if ingested. Spignel, also known as Fumaria, is a trailing herb with delicate, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. Its seeds are commonly known as "quaking grass" due to their ability to shake easily when touched. Spignel was historically used in herbal medicine for various ailments, including wounds, ulcers, and as a diuretic. The intricate handcoloring adds an additional layer of beauty to this botanical masterpiece, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical botanical illustrations. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the engraver, but also to the importance of botanical knowledge in the history of medicine and natural history.
