EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tobacco Plant (Nicotiana tabacum) along with the oldest printed picture of a cigar. The woodcut, created by Matthaeus Lobelius for his work "Stirpium adversaria nova" in 1576, takes us back to the Renaissance era and offers a glimpse into the world of botany during that time. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of this remarkable plant. The tobacco plant's large leaves are prominently displayed, showcasing their unique shape and veining patterns. Its roots can be seen extending deep into the ground, symbolizing its strong connection to nature and growth. Accompanying this botanical marvel is an intriguing depiction of a cigar - one of humanity's earliest encounters with tobacco consumption. This historic woodcut provides valuable insight into how tobacco was perceived and used centuries ago. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection, it reminds us of the significant role plants play in our lives. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they have been vital sources for medicine, sustenance, and cultural practices throughout history. Let this image transport you back in time as you appreciate both the scientific beauty captured within Lobelius' woodcut and reflect on how plants continue to shape our understanding of biology today.
