伊丽莎白·布莱克威尔是18世纪英国著名的本草绘图员,其唯一作品《奇草图鉴》是本草学史上的一朵奇葩。她是勇敢、勤奋而全能的画家,驻守切尔西药用植物园绘制了500幅插图,并且承担了雕版、填色等全部工作。这部书的成功同时源于其丈夫在文本上的协助,更仰仗于多位男性权威人物的推介以及得力的出版商。这部本草学以及她丈夫坎坷曲折的故事将布莱克威尔传奇化了,然而真实的她却有着当时社会性别意识形态下传统女性的被动和依赖。《奇草图鉴》是订阅式彩色绘本出版的一个缩影,也展示了女性在科学实践中所扮演的重要角色,而布莱克威尔的历史形象则展示出科技史研究中女性受到的偏见和忽视。
Elizabeth Blackwell is a well-known English illustrator in the 18th century. His only work, “The Book of Fantastic Grass,” is a wonderful work in the history of Materia Medica. She is a brave, diligent and all-around painter, stationed at the Chelsea Botanical Garden draw 500 illustrations, and assumed the engraving, coloring and other work. The success of this book also stems from the help of her husband in the text, but also on the introduction of a number of male authoritative figures and effective publishers. This Herbalism and her husband’s twists and turns of the story legend Blackwell, but the real she has the passive and dependent of the traditional women under the gender ideology. The Book of Wonderful Grass is a microcosm of the publication of subscription color picture books. It also shows the important role played by women in scientific practice. The historical image of Blackwell shows the prejudice and neglect of women in the study of history of science and technology.
