EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts Valerian, Valeriana officinalis, a medicinal plant that has been used for therapeutic purposes since ancient times. The engraving was created by the renowned French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard for the Herbier de la France, published in Paris in 1780. Bulliard was a prominent figure in the field of botany during the late 18th century, and his meticulous illustrations were considered some of the most accurate and beautiful of the time. Valerian, also known as All-healer or Setewid in some European cultures, is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. The plant is characterized by its tall spikes of small, white or pink flowers, and its distinctive, pungent smell. The root of the Valerian plant has been used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments, including anxiety, insomnia, and digestive issues. The history of Valerian's use as a medicinal plant can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was believed to have calming and sedative properties. The plant was also mentioned in the works of several notable historical figures, including Hippocrates, Galen, and Dioscorides. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving not only serves as a testament to Bulliard's skill as a botanical illustrator but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of Valerian and its traditional uses. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the illustration, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
