🔥 A beautifully dark 1916 botanical illustration of pure poison. Every plant and fungus shown here can end you.
This gorgeous plate comes from an old reference book called Pictured Knowledge (1916). It features things like Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) right alongside toxic wild fungi on a stark black background. The aesthetics back then were unmatched, but it’s crazy to think this was a standard educational guide for kids to know what not to touch.
