书籍简介

一本微型药用植物宝库，取材自一位先锋女性艺术家的作品。

这本微型书包含一个真正的治愈植物园，这些植物都是从伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔的《奇妙的草药》（1737-39 年）中精心挑选出来的。布莱克威尔是一位才华横溢的艺术家，在丈夫因债务入狱后，她出版了她的草药书作为经济支持——这本书很快成为医生和药剂师的珍贵参考书。

本书展示了 140 幅精美的手工彩色版画——从接骨木和洋甘菊到芦荟和圣约翰草——每一幅都附有布莱克威尔对其药用特性的描述。这些植物是由知名的园艺作家玛塔·麦克道尔挑选出来的，她还介绍了伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔和她那个时代的草药。《治愈植物》是送给任何对草药学、植物学或园艺感兴趣的人来说的心仪小礼物。

A miniature treasury of medicinal plants, drawn from the work of a pioneering woman artist.

This miniature book contains a veritable garden of healing plants, specially chosen from Elizabeth Blackwell’s Curious Herbal (1737–39). A talented artist, Blackwell published her herbal as a means of financial support after her husband landed in debtor’s prison ― and it quickly became a prized reference for doctors and apothecaries.

Each of the 140 exquisite hand-coloured engravings featured herein ― from elderberry and chamomile to aloe and St. John’s wort ― is accompanied by Blackwell’s description of its medicinal properties. The plants have been selected by the renowned garden writer Marta McDowell, who also contributes an introduction about Elizabeth Blackwell and the herbal medicine of her time. Healing Plants is the perfect little gift for anyone interested in herbalism, botany, or gardening.
