EDITORS COMMENTS
Milkwort, Polygala vulgaris, is a small herbaceous plant belonging to the Polygalaceae family, known for its distinctive bell-shaped pink or purple flowers. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving is an accurate representation of the Milkwort, as depicted in James Sowerby's illustration for James Smith's English Botany, published in London in 1791. The Milkwort plant, native to Europe, Asia, and North America, grows in damp meadows, marshes, and woodlands. Its common name derives from its milky sap, which was once used as a substitute for cow's milk. The plant was also valued for its medicinal properties, and was used to treat various ailments, including coughs, colds, and skin conditions. The intricate details of the Milkwort's leaves, stems, and flowers are beautifully captured in this engraving. The delicate veining on the leaves, the delicate bell-shaped flowers, and the tendrils that cling to the stems are all rendered with remarkable precision. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Milkwort to life. This botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time. It is a valuable resource for botanical research and a stunning addition to any collection of botanical art. The Milkwort continues to be of interest to botanists, gardeners, and naturalists, and this engraving serves as a reminder of its beauty and historical significance.
