EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1795, showcases the intriguing world of hops (Humulus lupulus) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum). The illustration features a male hop plant (Humulus lupulus, male) with its distinctive cone-like structures, and two female hop plants (Humulus lupulus, female) with their delicate, vine-like growth and small, green leaves. Nearby, a coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum) flourishes, its slender stems adorned with feathery leaves and umbels of tiny white flowers. Hops, a vital ingredient in brewing beer, were widely cultivated in Europe during the 18th century. The cones, rich in essential oils, impart bitterness and flavor to the brew. In contrast, coriander, a versatile herb, has been used for centuries in various culinary, medicinal, and cosmetic applications. Its leaves and seeds are renowned for their distinct, citrusy aroma and pungent taste. This image, taken from an educational encyclopedia, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these two fascinating plants, which have captivated the curiosity of children and adults alike for centuries. The meticulous hand-coloring and intricate copperplate engraving techniques employed in this illustration serve to highlight the botanical beauty and intricacies of hops and coriander, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of botanical or educational prints.
