EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of common cultivated garlic, Allium sativum. The image captures the bulb, leaves, and purplish flower of this versatile plant. Handcolored with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving is a botanical illustration by James Sowerby from the renowned "Medical Botany" publication in 1832. James Sowerby was an incredibly talented artist who dedicated his life to capturing the essence of plants through his illustrations. He contributed over 2,500 drawings for Smith's monumental work "English Botany" and created stunning depictions of mushrooms for "Coloured Figures of English Fungi". His tireless efforts have left a lasting impact on botanical art. The garlic depicted in this print holds not only aesthetic appeal but also medicinal properties. Known as an anthelmintic and clove-producing herb, it has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. This antique print serves as a testament to the rich history and significance of garlic as a medicinal plant. Dating back to the 19th century in England, this botanical plate offers us a glimpse into natural history during that time period. It is a valuable piece that combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork through their Fine Art Finder collection.
