Culpeper’s Complete Herbal c.1750, Plate 20 Botanical Engraving Reproduction on Canvas
This reproduction of a hand-colored engraving from Nicholas Culpeper’s Complete Herbal (c.1750) is Plate 20, depicting nine plants carefully illustrated and labeled. These herbs were celebrated in both medicine and folklore for their healing, protective, and symbolic qualities, and they reflect Culpeper’s mission to make practical herbal knowledge widely available.
The plants illustrated on Plate 20 are:
-
Vervain (Verbena officinalis)
-
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)
-
Viper’s Bugloss (Echium vulgare)
-
Woad (Isatis tinctoria)
-
Woodbine (Honeysuckle) (Lonicera periclymenum)
-
Wallflower (Cheiranthus cheiri, Erysimum cheiri)
-
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
-
Sea Wormwood (Artemisia maritima)
-
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Plate 20 highlights plants used for diverse purposes: vervain and yarrow in ritual and healing, valerian as a calming sedative, woad as a historic dye plant, wormwood in digestive remedies and tonics, and woodbine for respiratory complaints. The artistry of the plate captures both their medicinal virtues and cultural symbolism in Georgian England.
