Antique Matted Floral Engraving

This authentic 1845 botanical print features Digitalis purpurea (Foxglove) from Peter P. Good’s historic work, The Family Flora and Materia Medica Botanica, published in New York.

The listing includes the original beautifully preserved text page detailing the "Scrophulariaceae / The Figwort Tribe" and "No. 46. Digitalis Purpurea," along with a copy of the book's 1845 title page. It highlights the plant's natural history, chemical properties, and early medical uses, such as for "dropsy and palpitation of the heart." This rare piece of medical botany comes professionally matted on a vintage cream-colored board and remains protected in its clear archival wrap, making it an exceptional display piece for collectors of historic prints, science history, or botanical art.
