Culpeper’s Complete Herbal c.1750, Plate 5 Botanical Engraving Reproduction
This finely hand-colored engraving from Nicholas Culpeper’s Complete Herbal (circa 1750) represents Plate 5, 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 illustrated on Plate 5 are:
-
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium)
-
Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
-
Cleavers (Galium aparine)
-
Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara)
-
Crabs Claws or Freshwater Soldier (Stratiotes aloides)
-
Cowslip (Primula veris)
-
Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris)
-
Shrub Cinquefoil (Potentilla fruticosa)
-
Costmary (Tanacetum balsamita)
Plate 5 highlights herbs used for respiratory complaints, wound healing, digestive remedies, and symbolic purposes in folklore. Its vivid detail and careful hand-tinting demonstrate the lasting union of science, art, and folk tradition in Culpeper’s celebrated herbal.
