"Potato plant and fruit" is a botanical illustration from the 'Herbarium Blackwellianum', a significant work by the Scottish botanical artist and illustrator Elizabeth Blackwell. Created in the 18th century, this plate is part of a comprehensive herbal that was published in several volumes between 1737 and 1753. The 'Herbarium Blackwellianum' was notable for its detailed and accurate depictions of medicinal plants, and it served as an important reference for apothecaries and physicians during that time.

Elizabeth Blackwell's contribution to botanical illustration and science is remarkable, considering the limited opportunities available to women in the field during the 18th century. Her work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the combination of both aesthetic appeal and scientific accuracy. The "Potato plant and fruit" plate is a fine example of her skill in portraying the morphology of plant species, including the leaves, flowers, and fruits, which was essential for the identification and use of the plants in medicine.

The 'Herbarium Blackwellianum' was not only a scientific endeavor but also a financial one, as Blackwell undertook the project to secure the release of her husband from debtor's prison. The publication was successful and received the support of the medical community, including Sir Hans Sloane, the president of the Royal College of Physicians at the time. Blackwell's work remains an important part of botanical history and continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic value.
