EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases plate 288 from "A Curious Herbal" a renowned publication from 1782. Created by Elizabeth Blackwell, this colour engraving depicts the exquisite beauty of fennel, an enchanting wild flower that has been utilized as a flavouring agent for centuries. The image captures every intricate detail of the plant's root, seed, stalk, and foliage, highlighting its edible nature and perennial existence. Fennel is not only visually appealing but also possesses an aromatic quality that makes it a beloved culinary herb. Its sweet fragrance adds depth to various dishes and its distinct taste enhances the overall flavor profile. With its scientific name being foeniculum vulgare, this engraving serves as both an artistic representation and educational tool for those interested in botany. The historical significance of this print lies in its inclusion in "A Curious Herbal" which was published during a time when women were rarely recognized for their contributions to botanical studies. Elizabeth Blackwell defied societal norms by creating this comprehensive collection of engravings that showcased her immense knowledge and talent. Now part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection in Scotland, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate the artistry behind botanical illustrations while celebrating the rich heritage associated with plants like fennel. As we gaze upon this enchanting print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of nature's wonders and how they continue to inspire us today.
