EDITORS COMMENTS
Wolfsbane, Aconitum lycoctonum, also known as Aconit tue-loup, is a highly toxic and intriguing plant that has captured the attention of botanists, naturalists, and folklore for centuries. This stunning handcoloured steel engraving, created by L. Lebrun after the botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, is a beautiful representation of this enigmatic plant from the 19th century. Wolfsbane, or Monkshood as it is also called, is native to Europe and Asia and is characterized by its tall spikes of hooded, bell-shaped purple or blue flowers. However, it is the plant's toxic properties that have earned it its most notorious reputation. All parts of the plant contain the alkaloid aconitine, which can cause paralysis, heart failure, and even death if ingested or handled improperly. Despite its danger, wolfsbane has a rich history in folklore and mythology. In ancient Greece, it was believed that the plant could protect against the bite of a wolf or other predator. In medieval Europe, it was used as a poison and was even said to have been used by witches to turn people into wolves. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the beauty and allure of this fascinating plant, as well as a reminder of the importance of handling it with care and respect due to its deadly properties. The intricate details of the leaves, stems, and flowers are beautifully rendered, making this a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
