Culpeper’s Complete Herbal c.1750, Plate 14 Botanical Engraving Reproduction on Canvas

This hand-colored reproduction on canvas of an engraving from Nicholas Culpeper’s Complete Herbal (c.1750) is Plate 14, illustrating nine plants central to both traditional medicine and folklore. Some, like mustard and parsley, were staples in culinary and apothecary use, while others such as deadly nightshade carried powerful medicinal—and dangerous—reputations. The plate blends practical identification with artistic charm, preserving the breadth of 18th-century herbal knowledge.

The plants illustrated on Plate 14 are:

• Black Mustard (Brassica nigra)

• Common Nightshade (Solanum nigrum)

• Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna)

• Nep (Nepeta cataria, Catnip)

• Nailwort (Paronychia officinalis)

• Orpine (Sedum telephium)

• Cow Parsnip (Heracleum sphondylium)

• Rock Parsley (Petroselinum segetum)

• Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa)

Plate 14 reflects both everyday and cautionary herbs—ranging from edible and medicinal roots to toxic plants used with extreme care in early remedies. This engraving captures the wide spectrum of plant lore that Culpeper sought to preserve for future generations.
