Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation
Description A complete edition of the first herbal published by a woman artist&8213whih has a remarkable backstory In the 1730s, Elizabeth Blackwell (1699&8211c 1758) found herself penniless, with her ne&8217erdo-well husband confined to a London debtor&8217sprison. A talented artist, she came up with a unique and ambitious moneymaking scheme: the publication of a new illustrated guide to medicinal plants, including many New World species not depicted in earlier books. Blackwell&8217sCurious Herbal, published between 1737 and 1739, was hailed for its usefulness to doctors and apothecaries and met with considerable financial success. This magnificent volume&8213thefirst modern edition of Blackwell&8217sherbal&8213repoduces all five hundred of her exquisite plates. Blackwell not only made the drawings, but prepared the copper plates and personally hand- colored them. Her handwritten descriptions of the plants, which she creatively adapted (with permission) from Joseph Miller&8217sBotanicum Officinale, retain considerable interest. This book features a previously unknown preface by Blackwell, in which she reveals her passion for art and nature, and her vision for the herbal. Two introductory texts contextualize Blackwell&8217sachievement: the noted garden writer Marta McDowell explores the history of herbals as a genre, and the state of botanical knowledge in Blackwell&8217stime and the historian Janet Stiles Tyson relates the artist&8217srather extraordinary biography.A Curious Herbal will be essential for all lovers of botanical art, and for anyone interested in women&8217shistory and the history of science. 500 full-color illustrations
