EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two distinct species of nettle plants: Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettle, and Urtica urens, or dwarf nettle. The illustration is taken from Adam Lonicer's renowned herbal, "Krauterbuch," or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This particular print is believed to originate from a 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations, featuring captions in multiple languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. Urtica dioica, the larger nettle plant, is depicted with its characteristic serrated leaves and hollow, square stems. The plant is known for its stinging hairs, which release histamine when touched, causing a painful rash. Despite this, nettle has a long history of medicinal use. It has been used to treat various ailments, including arthritis, anemia, and even as a diuretic. In contrast, Urtica urens, the dwarf nettle, is shown with smaller, more densely packed leaves and shorter, rounder stems. This nettle species is also known to have stinging hairs but is generally considered less potent than Urtica dioica. Dwarf nettle has also been used in traditional medicine, particularly for treating joint pain and inflammation. The intricate details of this botanical illustration highlight the beauty and complexity of these plants, showcasing their unique characteristics and providing a glimpse into the rich history of botany and medicinal practices during the Renaissance period.
