Description

A detailed botanical illustration of Aconitum napellus (monkshood or wolfsbane), showing the full flowering plant with its distinctive hooded blue-violet blooms, deeply lobed leaves, and numerous annotated dissection diagrams of seeds, petals, stamens, and seed pods arranged around the central specimen. The composition has the precise, scientific elegance characteristic of 19th-century European botanical publishing. This plate (No. 151) was published in Franz Eugen Köhler's landmark reference work 'Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen' (1887), a German encyclopedia of medicinal plants renowned for its exceptional chromolithographic accuracy and scientific rigor.
