In 1887, Franz Eugen Kohler published “Medizinal Pflanzen”, a three volume treatise containing finely detailed illustrations of 300 medicinal plants found in central and Eastern Europe. It was described by S. Sitwell and W. Blunt as “From the botanical standpoint the finest and most useful series of illustrations of medicinal plants.” Köhler’s Medizinal Pflanzen was edited by Gustav Pabst, a German botanist. Upon discovering the work of F.E. Koehler, I was struck by the beauty of the illustrations, some of which are displayed in this booklet. They brought to mind an analogy between the healing power of plants, known and utilized for centuries, and the healing power of design, as it is pursued and artfully applied today by our healthcare designer friends.
