A woodcut illustration of a chicory plant from Mattioli's highly popular commentary on the De Materia medica of Dioscorides, a Greek physican and botanist of the first century A.D. This great compendium of medical plants had been the mainstay of pharmacology for fourteen centuries, and its influence continued well after the invention of printing; over eighty edition appeared during the course of the sixteenth century. The original woodblock is one of a series of over one hundred which have survived and was used to illustrate several ediitons of the work. Printed from the original wood block by William Rueter.
