EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Aethusa Cynapium, also known as Lesser Hemlock or Fool's Parsley. Taken from Joseph Roques' renowned Phytographie Medicale, published in 1821, this engraving by L. F. J. Hoquart offers a glimpse into the world of poisonous plants and their medicinal properties. Aethusa Cynapium may appear innocent with its intricate flowers and lush leaves, but it carries a deadly secret. While traditionally used as a stomacic remedy to aid digestion, this plant has the potential to be lethal. Its toxic nature is particularly dangerous for dogs, making it essential knowledge for pet owners and botany enthusiasts alike. The Stapleton Collection proudly houses this remarkable artwork that not only highlights the artistic talent of Roques and Hoquart but also serves as an educational tool about the dangers lurking in nature's bounty. This French masterpiece reminds us that even within seemingly harmless flora lies hidden peril. As we admire this exquisite depiction of Aethusa Cynapium, let us appreciate its allure while acknowledging its potential harm. Through artistry and scientific exploration combined, we gain insight into both the wonders and hazards present in our natural surroundings.
