EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving, taken from the 1557 edition of Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, "Krauterbuch," or "Herbal," showcases two distinct varieties of germander: the cut-leaved germander (Teucrium botrys) and the common germander (Teucrium chamaedrys). The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the illustration highlight the unique characteristics of each plant. The cut-leaved germander, depicted on the left, is distinguished by its small, oval-shaped leaves with serrated edges that are covered in fine hairs. The plant is shown in full bloom, with clusters of pink, purple, and white flowers adorning its stems. The cut-leaved germander was traditionally used in herbal medicine for its astringent and antiseptic properties, particularly for treating women's reproductive issues, such as menstrual cramps and postpartum bleeding. On the right, the common germander is illustrated with its opposite, oblong leaves that are smooth and hairless. The plant is shown in its vegetative state, with small, greenish-white flowers peeking out from its branches. Common germander was also used in herbal medicine for its medicinal properties, including as a diuretic and to alleviate digestive issues. This botanical illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of the 16th-century botanical world. The illustration is accompanied by captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English, reflecting the international reach of Lonicer's work. The intricate woodblock engraving technique, combined with the rich history and cultural significance of this herbal, make this a truly captivating piece of botanical art.
