About the Item
Antique print, titled: 'Euphorbium verum Antiquorum' - This original old antique print shows the true euphorbium. Source unknown, to be determined.
The True Euphorbium; Euphorbium verum Antiquorum
London: John Nourse, 1737.
Botanical print. Copper engraving with hand coloring. In very good condition.
Illustration of the true Euphorbium; plate 339 from "A Curious Herbal" which depicts exotic plants from the New World used for medicinal purposes.The cactus-like perennial plant is indigenous to Morocco.
Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was trained as an artist but untrained in botany. She collaborated with her botanist husband while he was in debtor's prison and with the curator of the Chelsea Physick Garden where the plants were under cultivation. She engraved the copper printing plates for the 500 images and also hand-colored the illustrations. The financial success of the book led to her husband's release from prison.
Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Elizabeth Blackwell ' after an anonymous artist. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707–1758) was a Scottish botanical illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal", published between 1737 and 1739. The book illustrated many odd-looking and unknown plants from the New World, and was designed as a reference work on medicinal plants for the use of physicians and apothecaries.
