EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored botanical copperplate engraving depicts the Creeping Purple Cromwell and Comfrey, a fascinating medicinal plant that has been used for centuries for its healing properties. The engraving is taken from Joshua Hamilton's "Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal," published in London in 1792. The work was an enlarged edition of the original "Culpeper's Herbal" by Nicolas Culpeper, which was first published in 1653. The Creeping Purple Cromwell and Comfrey, also known as Consolida regalis and Symphytum x uplandicum, is a hybrid plant that results from the crossing of the Harebell and Comfrey. The plant is characterized by its creeping rhizomes, purple flowers, and heart-shaped leaves. In traditional herbal medicine, the roots of the Comfrey plant have been used to treat a variety of ailments, including bone fractures, sprains, and bruises. The plant was believed to have the ability to promote the healing of bones and tissues. The intricate detail and vibrant colors in this engraving are a testament to the skill of the engraver and the dedication of the botanists and medical professionals who contributed to the creation of this important work. The image of the Creeping Purple Cromwell and Comfrey is accompanied by its Latin name and a brief description of its medicinal uses, reflecting the importance of botany and herbal medicine in the historical context of the time. This beautiful and informative print is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, botany, or the natural world.
