EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Panzerina lanata, also known as Leonurus lanatus, a medicinal plant with a distinctive appearance. The plant, native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean, is commonly referred to as Wolliger Lowenschwanz, or woolly lion's tail, due to its soft, woolly hairs covering the stems and leaves. The illustration is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The handbook was an essential reference for medical professionals and botanists of the time, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of various medicinal plants. Panzerina lanata was valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for its ability to alleviate pain and inflammation. The plant was used to make teas, tinctures, and ointments, and was believed to have a calming effect on the nervous system. The engraving captures the plant's intricate details, from the delicate hairs on the stems and leaves to the small, pink-purple flowers that bloom at the top. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of detail and beauty to the illustration, making it a stunning addition to any botanical or medical collection. The use of copperplate engraving, a popular method of producing detailed and accurate illustrations during the 19th century, ensures the intricacy and precision of the image. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of medicinal plants and their use in traditional medicine. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate and detailed documentation of natural specimens for scientific and medicinal purposes.
