Botanical Illustration of Spanish Kidney Vetch, from Munting’s 1696 Herbal

About the Item

This antique print titled "Anthyllis Vesicaria Hispanica" features the Anthyllis plant, a member of the legume family often found in Mediterranean regions. It comes from Abraham Munting’s 1696 botanical collection, where plants were illustrated against imaginative landscape backgrounds. The Anthyllis Vesicaria Hispanica is notable for its medicinal properties and nitrogen-fixing ability, which enhances soil fertility. Historically, the plant has been used in traditional remedies for skin conditions and wound healing. It thrives in Mediterranean regions, particularly in Spain and surrounding areas, where it grows in dry, rocky environments and limestone soils. Its adaptability to harsh conditions and its vibrant yellow flowers make it a valuable species both for ecological purposes and as an ornamental plant in xeriscaping. Abraham Munting (1626–1683) was a Dutch botanist who contributed significantly to plant taxonomy and botanical gardens. His posthumously published work gained popularity for its unique artistic style, blending scientific illustrations with creative depictions. Collectors may search for terms like Anthyllis botanical print, Munting engraving, or 1696 herbal illustrations.
