EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicts Parsley, Petroselinum sativum, a widely used herb in various culinary and medicinal applications. Dating back to the late 19th century, this image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, a comprehensive handbook of medical-pharmaceutical plants published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. Parsley, native to the Mediterranean region, is identified in this illustration by its characteristic curly leaves and tall, hollow stems. The plant belongs to the Apiaceae family and is rich in volatile oils, flavonoids, and vitamins A and C. Parsley has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Its essential oil, rich in eugenol, is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. Parsley has been used traditionally to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and support respiratory health. In the culinary world, parsley is a popular herb used for garnishing and flavouring dishes, particularly in European and Mediterranean cuisines. The fresh leaves add a bright, pungent flavour and a vibrant green colour to various dishes, making it an essential ingredient in many recipes. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving not only showcases the botanical beauty of Parsley but also highlights its historical significance as a valuable medicinal and culinary herb. The use of hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art.
