Apple - Malus sativa - an antique engraved and hand-coloured print by Elizabeth Blackwell from her famous work "A Curious Herbal", published in 1737-1739.

Elizabeth Blackwell (1707–1758) was a Scottish botanical illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal", published between 1737 and 1739. The book was designed as a reference work on medicinal plants for the use of physicians and apothecaries. Elizabeth Blachrie was the daughter of a successful Scottish merchant and was trained as an artist. She secretly married her cousin, Alexander Blackwell (1709–47), a Scottish doctor. Soon the young couple had to relocate to London, where he set up a printing house. Not belonging to a guild Alexander was charged with flouting the trade rules and heavily fined, and subsequently went to a prison as a debtor. Elizabeth had a child and was destitute. In this desperate situation she has learned that a new herbal was needed to be illustrated. She would take the completed drawings to her husband's cell where he supplied the correct names Latin and other languages. In addition to the drawings, Blackwell engraved the copper printing plates for the 500 images and text, and hand-coloured the printed illustrations. A Curious Herbal was a success because of the meticulous quality of the illustrations. Physicians and apothecaries acclaimed the work, and it received a commendation from the Royal College of Physicians. Revenue from the book led to Alexander’s release from prison. It wasn't the end of troubles for Blackwell however as Alexander was soon arrested and executed in Sweden, where he went to start a new life. Little is known of Blackwell's later years.

As a dual language educator and mother of a bilingual child, I absolutely love these books! The set is bright, colorful and culturally rich; the three books are inspired by Latin American marketplace scenes, which makes learning feel playful and meaningful! Such a wonderful addition to any household or classroom bookshelf!
