EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving depicts the Wild Service Tree, Sorbus torminalis, and the Wild Plum, Prunus sylvestris, from the botanical masterpiece, "Krauterbuch" or "Herbal" by Adam Lonicer, published in Frankfurt in 1557. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of this illustration showcase the beauty and complexity of these plants. The Wild Service Tree, also known as the Chequers or European Service Tree, is a large, deciduous tree native to Europe. Its leaves were once used to make a medicinal tea, which was believed to aid in the treatment of various ailments, including fever, gout, and scurvy. The tree's name derives from its white, serviceable wood, which was used for making utensils and tools. The Wild Plum, also known as the European Plum or Wild Prune, is a small tree or large shrub that produces edible fruit. The fruit was used for food and medicinal purposes, with the leaves and bark being used to make a tea that was believed to have anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. This botanical illustration is a rare survival from a 17th century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only, with captions in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and in English manuscript. The pirate editions were unauthorized copies of original works, often produced to meet the growing demand for knowledge and understanding of the natural world. The inclusion of multiple language captions reflects the international reach and appeal of such works. The intricate detail and historical significance of this illustration make it a valuable addition to any collection of botanical art or scientific literature. Its beautiful colours and intricate detail continue to captivate and inspire appreciation for the natural world and the knowledge that was sought after during the Renaissance period.
