EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored woodblock engraving showcases two thistle species, Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) and Scotch Thistle (Onopordum acanthium). The Milk Thistle, also known as Mary's Thistle, Cardus mariae, or Mariana Thistle, is a native of Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Its distinctive white veins and spiny leaves have made it an easily recognizable plant. The Milk Thistle has long been valued for its medicinal properties, particularly for liver protection and support. The Scotch Thistle, also known as the Scottish Thistle, Onopordum silvestre, or Carduus acanthus, is a native of Europe and Asia. Its spiny leaves and purple flower heads are characteristic of the thistle family. The Scotch Thistle is the national emblem of Scotland, symbolizing courage and resilience. This botanical illustration is from Adam Lonicer's Krauterbuch, or Herbal, published in Frankfurt in 1557. This 17th-century pirate edition or atlas of illustrations only features captions in various languages, including Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German, and English manuscript. The intricate details of the engraving are a testament to the advanced botanical knowledge of the time and the artistic skill of the engraver. The Milk Thistle and Scotch Thistle have been depicted together in this illustration, highlighting their similarities and differences. The Milk Thistle's white veins and smoother leaves contrast with the Scotch Thistle's spikier appearance and purple flowers. Both thistles continue to be of interest to botanists, medical professionals, and naturalists, and their beauty and significance endure in scientific and cultural contexts.
