With its delicate white flowers and aromatic seeds, caraway (Carum carui) has found its place in both culinary delights and Victorian botanical illustrations. In 1942, Arthurs Siegel captured the essence of common caraway in Birmingham, Michigan. The image showcases the intricate details of this versatile plant that is often mistaken for Persian cumin (Carum carvi). Curtis British Entomology Plate 680 further highlights the beauty with an exquisite depiction by Leonhart Fuchs from De historia stirpium commentarii. Indigenous spice plants have always held a special place in our kitchens, and coloured engravings showcase their importance.
