EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colored engraving from 1542 showcases the intricate beauty of Pellitory-of-the-wall, also known as lichwort. The print is part of Leonhart Fuchs' renowned work, De historia stirpium commentarii insignes (Notable Commentaries on the History of Plants), which has become a treasured piece in botanical history. The image captures a close-up view of the plant's leaf, revealing its delicate veins and textured surface. Its vertical composition allows for a detailed examination of every aspect, from the root to the tip. The Latin script accompanying the illustration adds an air of authenticity and historical significance.
