EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts American pennyroyal, Hedeoma pulegioides, a small herbaceous plant native to North America. The illustration is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. The botanical illustration was created by David Blair and later hand-colored by Hanhart. American pennyroyal, also known as wild pennyroyal, is a member of the mint family and is characterized by its small, purple-blue flowers and fragrant leaves. The plant was highly valued in traditional herbal medicine for its therapeutic properties. Pennyroyal was used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, menstrual cramps, and respiratory problems. The essential oil extracted from the plant was also used as a natural insect repellent. The intricate details of the pennyroyal plant are beautifully captured in this lithograph, with each petal, vein, and leaf rendered in vivid color. The background features a simple, yet elegant design, allowing the plant to take center stage. This print would make an excellent addition to any botanical collection or herbal study. The rich history and medicinal uses of American pennyroyal add to the intrigue and allure of this fascinating plant.
