        Est: $150 - $450

        This fine botanical woodcut engraving is from John Gerard's The Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes. This is from the first edition published in 1597 by John Norton in London. Gerard's Herball is considered the most famous of all English herbals, attaining great success and influence through the 18th century. The paper is considered folio size and it featured numerous illustrations but also commentary and anecdotes about many of the plant species. The work featured 800 species of plants and more than 2500 woodcuts including the introduction of 182 flowering plants not previously published. John Gerard (1545-1612) was trained as a barber-surgeon. He worked as the superintendend of William Cecil, Lord Burghley's gardens. He was also the curator of the Physic Garden at the College of Physicians. He also maintained his own garden in which he grew the first potato in England. His Herball was also the first to illustrate and depict the potato in English. He received the potato to grow likely from Clusius, though he mistakenly believed it native to North America and called it the Virginian Potato, and the sweet potato he simply called potato.
