EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Mandrake and Foxgloves, two plants known for their poisonous nature. Despite their toxicity, these botanical wonders possess remarkable medicinal properties when handled with care and prescribed by experts. The woodcut image originates from John Parkinson's renowned book Paradisi in Sole Paradisus Terrestris, published in London back in 1629. In an era where herbal remedies were highly valued, Parkinson's work shed light on the therapeutic potential of various plants. This particular illustration highlights the delicate features of Mandrake (2) and Foxgloves (4,5,6), capturing their essence through detailed craftsmanship. While caution must be exercised due to their toxic effects if mishandled or consumed improperly, both Mandrake and Foxgloves have been utilized throughout history for medicinal purposes. When prepared correctly under professional guidance, these plants have shown promise in treating certain ailments. The historical significance of this woodcut lies not only in its depiction of visually stunning flora but also in its contribution to the field of botany and medicine during a time when such knowledge was limited. Today, we can appreciate this artwork as a testament to humanity's continuous exploration of nature's secrets for healing purposes
