EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is a botanical illustration of Cabbage varieties, specifically Brassica rupestris, taken from the renowned herbal, Krauterbuch or Herbal, by Adam Lonicer. The illustration, created in Frankfurt in 1557, showcases several cabbage varieties, including Crispa and Tenera, also known as Savoy and Smooth-leafed cabbages, respectively. These cabbages were highly valued for their culinary and medicinal properties during the 16th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving are a testament to the advanced techniques of the time. The cabbages are depicted with great accuracy, revealing their unique textures and forms. The illustration also includes labels in Latin, Greek, French, Italian, and English manuscript, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and botanists of various linguistic backgrounds. The Krauterbuch was a popular and influential herbal, with numerous pirate editions and atlas publications throughout the 17th century. These editions, like this one, served as important sources of botanical knowledge, contributing to the advancement of botany, medicine, and agriculture. The cabbage, a staple vegetable in many cultures, has a rich history that extends far beyond its culinary uses. It was believed to have medicinal properties and was used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, respiratory problems, and even as a poultice for wounds. The cabbage's versatility and nutritional value continue to make it a beloved and essential food source today.
