Title A name given to the resource Image of Chili Peppers Subject The topic of the resource Woodcut illustration of chili peppers (Capsicum annuum) including stems, leaves, and roots Description An account of the resource This image is one of over five hundred woodcut illustrations that were part of a book written by Leonhart Fuchs, De Historia Stirpium commentarii insignes, which was originally published in 1542. Albrecht Meyer drew the plants based on observation, Heinrich Fullmaurer transferred these drawings to woodblocks, and Vitus Rudolph Speckle cut these blocks and printed the woodcut illustrations. The colors were later added by hand using watercolors. Several plants were illustrated for the first time in Fuchs' book, including the chili pepper. Fuchs made sure that the illustrations were true to life and that they depicted the plants in all stages of life. This demonstrates the purpose of the images in this book, which was to be a practical guide for those studying the sciences, particularly medicine.
