"The Peach Tree, plate 101 from 'A Curious Herbal' by Elizabeth Blackwell, is a notable illustration from one of the most significant botanical works of the 18th century. Elizabeth Blackwell, an accomplished artist and herbalist, created 'A Curious Herbal' between 1737 and 1739. This comprehensive herbal was designed to aid physicians and apothecaries in the identification of plants used in medicine. Blackwell's work is particularly remarkable because she undertook it to secure the release of her husband, Alexander Blackwell, from debtor's prison.

The illustration of the Peach Tree, like the other plates in 'A Curious Herbal,' is characterized by its meticulous detail and scientific accuracy. Each plate in the collection was drawn, engraved, and hand-colored by Blackwell herself, showcasing her exceptional skill and dedication. The Peach Tree illustration features the plant in various stages of growth, including detailed depictions of its leaves, flowers, and fruit. This level of detail was crucial for the medical professionals of the time, who relied on such visuals to correctly identify and utilize plants for their medicinal properties.

'A Curious Herbal' was highly regarded for its practical utility and artistic merit. It was one of the first herbals to include plants from the New World, reflecting the expanding botanical knowledge of the period. The work was published in weekly installments, making it accessible to a broad audience and ensuring its widespread influence.

Elizabeth Blackwell's contributions through 'A Curious Herbal' were significant not only for their immediate practical applications but also for their lasting impact on botanical illustration and the study of medicinal plants. The Peach Tree, plate 101, remains a testament to her skill, perseverance, and the important role of women in the advancement of science and art during the 18th century."
