Description

This richly detailed botanical illustration depicts Atropa belladonna — commonly known as deadly nightshade — rendered with scientific precision across a warm cream background. The plate shows the plant's broad ovate leaves, tubular brown-purple flowers, and characteristic berries, alongside cross-section and anatomical detail studies in the margins. Originally published in Franz Eugen Köhler's landmark reference work 'Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen' (1887), a celebrated German encyclopedia of medicinal plants that remains one of the finest examples of 19th-century botanical illustration.
