Culpeper’s Complete Herbal c.1750, Plate 3 Botanical Engraving Reproduction

This finely hand-colored engraving from Nicholas Culpeper’s Complete Herbal (circa 1750) represents Plate 3, illustrating nine medicinal plants with clarity and charm. Each plant was valued in early modern medicine and folk practice, and Culpeper’s herbal served as one of the most accessible and influential medical guides of the 18th century.

The plants pictured are:

• Bird’s Foot (Lotus corniculatus)

• Bishop’s Weed (Ammi majus or Aegopodium podagraria)

• Bistort or Snakeweed (Persicaria bistorta)

• White Briony (Bryonia dioica)

• Borage (Borago officinalis)

• Brooklime (Veronica beccabunga)

• Buckshorn Plantain (Plantago coronopus)

• Brank Ursine (Acanthus mollis)

• Blue Bottle (Centaurea cyanus, Cornflower)

Plate 3 reflects the period’s fascination with medicinal botany, where each plant was understood not only for its healing virtues but also for its symbolism and place in the natural world. The artwork exemplifies the enduring legacy of Culpeper’s attempt to make herbal knowledge accessible to the public.
