empirics, birt hasnow so far fallen into disrepute as to have been discarded from generalpractice, and no longer holds a place in the officinal catalogues, and iseven suspected to possess dangerous properties, like most other plantsof this order. It has been considered as a diuretic, diaphoretic, andanti-scorbutic, and was formerly in high repute and extensively used inthe cure of jaundice, and was said to have been beneficially employedin small-pox to promote the eruption; it was also used in measles andscurvy, and externally as a vulnerary. Culpepper, in the year IGIO,speaks very highly of the Columbine, and mentions several caseswhere he has applied it with success, prepared as a lotion, in cynanchetonsillaris, and cynanche trachealis; one drachm of the seed, taken inwine, has been found good in hepatitis, icterus, and various chronicbilious affections. In Spain this plant was highly esteemed, and formany years was considered as the great panacea for the ills whichflesh is heir to.

This large AI-assisted collection comprises about 60,000 images of botanical drawings and illustrations. It spans from the 14th to 19th century. As of today, we estimate the total number of botanical illustrations in our archive as 200,000 and growing. The "golden age" of botanical illustration is generally considered to be the 18th and 19th centuries, a time when there was a great deal of interest in botany and a proliferation of botanical illustrations being produced. During this period, many of the great botanical illustrators of the time, such as Maria Sybilla Merian, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and John James Audubon, were active and produced some of the most iconic and influential botanical illustrations of all time. In addition to being used for scientific purposes, botanical illustrations were also highly prized for their beauty and were often used to decorate homes and other public spaces. Many of the most famous botanical illustrations from this period are still admired and collected today for their beauty and historical significance. All large Picryl collections were made possible with the development of neural image recognition. We made our best to reduce false-positive image recognition to under 5%.
