EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to 1690, showcases a selection of exquisite plants, with the primary focus on Panax Ginseng, also known as Japanese Ginseng. The intricately detailed engraving reveals the delicate roots of this precious plant, which have been revered for centuries in traditional Asian medicine. Panax Ginseng, a slow-growing perennial, is native to the forests of Manchuria, Korea, and northeastern China. Its distinctive fan-shaped roots have been used in traditional Chinese and Korean medicine for over 2,000 years, believed to promote vitality, longevity, and overall well-being. The engraving also features an array of other plants, each with their unique characteristics. Among them, you can identify the elegant, star-shaped flowers of the Star Anise plant, the vibrant red berries of the Chinese Dogwood, and the delicate fern-like fronds of the Maidenhair Fern. This beautiful print serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world during the late 17th century. It not only highlights the medicinal properties of Panax Ginseng but also showcases the diverse range of plants that were known and admired during this time. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the meticulous craftsmanship of the artist, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these plants.
