The Jalap plant (Ipomoea purga) was a crucial purgative medicine of the period, its tuberous roots imported from Mexico and widely prescribed. The hand-coloring displays exceptional skill, with delicate blue veins tracing through pink musculature while teal-green foliage provides striking visual contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of medical history, botanical illustration, or those seeking conversation-worthy scientific art that bridges the worlds of medicine and natural history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44705007009907,"sku":"AP7256","price":65.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/PL._2039.jpg?v=1775585830","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/plate-39","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
