Dale Goffigon captures the delicate beauty of Elizabeth Blackwell’s 18th-century herbal prints as indigo-toned archival pigment photographs.
Elizabeth Blackwell’s Herbal, published between 1737 and 1739, was among the earliest botanical books issued in parts. Each installment paired engraved plates with detailed descriptions of plant growth, flowering cycles, medicinal uses, and names in multiple languages. The complete work was later reissued in two folio volumes, accompanied by endorsements from leading botanists, physicians, and surgeons of the period.
Blackwell undertook the project while her husband was imprisoned for debt, engraving and hand-coloring the plates herself. The drawings later passed through notable private collections, including that of John Stuart, Third Earl of Bute.
Goffigon’s archival pigment photographs emphasize form and texture through deep indigo tones, offering precise, museum-quality interpretations of the original imagery.
