Framed Print of Red Poppy, Medicinal Plant, 1737
"A Curious Herbal", Plate 2. shows the red poppy, also called the field or corn poppy, a harmless relative of the opium poppy. "The flowers, " Blackwell writes, "are cooling, incline to sleep, and much used in inflammatory fevers." The red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family, Papaveraceae. Red Poppy petals have the same narcotic effects as opium. As they do not contain morphine, they were traditionally used as a substitute for opium in medical cases. The red poppy is commonly used as a sedative to treat insomnia and pains especially in children. The infusion of the poppy is believed to be useful in treating bronchitis, asthma, coughs and pertussis. The seeds are used to treat vitiligo. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was a famed Scottish illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal" (1737). © NLM / Science Source
