EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts Herb Paris, also known as Paris quadrifolia, a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries for its therapeutic properties. The engraving is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, a comprehensive handbook of medical-pharmaceutical plants published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. Herb Paris, named after the ancient Parisii people who are believed to have first discovered its medicinal value, is a low-growing plant with white or pink flowers and broad, lobed leaves. The plant is native to Europe and Asia and has been used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments, including menstrual disorders, skin conditions, and wounds. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver and the dedication of Dr. Artus to documenting the natural world for medical and scientific purposes. The use of copperplate engraving, a technique that involves etching designs onto copper plates and then printing from them, allowed for high-quality, detailed reproductions that were widely used in scientific and medical publications of the time. Today, Herb Paris continues to be of interest to botanists, herbalists, and medical researchers, who study its active compounds and potential therapeutic uses. This beautiful and historic engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history of plant-based medicine and the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
