1. Title: "English Lavender: A Timeless Aromatic Treasure from the Victorian Era" This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, also known as Lavandula spica. Dating back to the late 19th century, this illustration is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive botanical work, "Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants," published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The English Lavender is depicted in its full glory, revealing its characteristic features: slender, grey-green stems topped with dense, spiky, lavender-blue flower spikes. The plant's aromatic nature is emphasized by the delicate, intricate details of its blooms, which have long been celebrated for their calming, soothing scent. English Lavender, a beloved member of the Lavandula family, has a rich history in herbal medicine and aromatherapy. The plant was widely used during the Victorian era for various therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, and respiratory issues. Its essential oil, extracted from the flowers, is still in high demand today for its therapeutic properties and delightful fragrance. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the enduring appeal of English Lavender and the meticulous botanical illustration techniques of the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the knowledge of traditional medicinal plants for future generations.
