"Botanical Illustration of Sonchus oleraceus (Common Sow Thistle)"
Description:
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving by F. Guimpel, from the early 19th century, features Sonchus oleraceus, commonly known as Common Sow Thistle. The artwork meticulously captures the entire plant, from its deeply rooted base to its bright yellow flowers. Accompanying the main illustration are detailed dissections of the plant’s floral parts, seeds, and a longitudinal section of the stem, demonstrating the plant's characteristic features which are crucial for scientific and medicinal study.
Maker and Condition:
The illustration is likely part of a botanical series produced under the supervision of a botanist, intended for use in educational or medicinal contexts. The engraving is well-preserved, showing detailed linework and gentle color application that enhances the visual understanding of the plant's structure. The paper exhibits signs of aging, such as slight discoloration, which is typical for documents of this period and adds to the historical value of the piece.
Significance and Habitat:
Sonchus oleraceus is known for its edible leaves and stems, often used in salads and traditional medicines across various cultures for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. It is a common sight in fields, roadsides, and disturbed soils across Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. Its prevalence and uses in traditional medicine make it a significant subject for botanical study.
This engraving not only serves as a detailed botanical record but also reflects the era’s blend of artistic endeavor and scientific inquiry, capturing the beauty and utility of plants that were integral to daily life and scientific research during the early 19th century.
