List of works by author Blackwell, Elisabeth

Elisabeth Blackwell

Elisabeth Blackwell (c. 1707–1758) is one of the most remarkable figures in the history of botanical illustration — a woman who, against all social conventions of the 18th century, created one of the most influential herbals ever published. Her masterpiece, A Curious Herbal (1737–1739), united scientific precision, artistic sensitivity and an uncommon clarity of composition, making it a foundational work for physicians, apothecaries and lovers of botanical art.
