Dens leonis Common dandelion Taraxacum officinale Taraxacum dens-leonis - an antique engraved and hand-coloured print by Elizabeth Blackwell from 1737 edition of her famous work "A Curious Herbal".

Elizabeth Blackwell (1707–1758) was a Scottish botanical illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal", published between 1737 and 1739. The book was designed as a reference work on medicinal plants for the use of physicians and apothecaries. Elizabeth Blachrie was the daughter of a successful Scottish merchant and was trained as an artist. She secretly married her cousin, Alexander Blackwell (1709–47), a Scottish doctor. Soon the young couple had to relocate to London, where he set up a printing house. Not belonging to a guild Alexander was charged with flouting the trade rules and heavily fined, and subsequently went to a prison as a debtor. Elizabeth had a child and was destitute. In this desperate situation she has learned that a new herbal was needed to be illustrated. She would take the completed drawings to her husband's cell where he supplied the correct names Latin and other languages. In addition to the drawings, Blackwell engraved the copper printing plates for the 500 images and text, and hand-coloured the printed illustrations. A Curious Herbal was a success because of the meticulous quality of the illustrations. Physicians and apothecaries acclaimed the work, and it received a commendation from the Royal College of Physicians. Revenue from the book led to Alexander’s release from prison. It wasn't the end of troubles for Blackwell however as Alexander was soon arrested and executed in Sweden, where he went to start a new life. Little is known of Blackwell's later years.

Holds up really well under an extreme chewer
Size: Dumbbell
My dog is only 18 lbs , he can chew through anything. This little not so little chew toy has held up really well and keeps him occupied... although the blue rubbery part does break off in little tiny pieces it is not breaking off in big chunks, it has lasted more than 2 months at this point. He has been able to put some dents and dings in the plastic Center, but again considering he destroys everything in a matter of moments I'm very pleased with this. Quality is good, and he likes to carry it around the house... also found out if he turns it it makes a funny little noise which keeps them entertained. Perfect size for my dogs. The wait is Hefty enough that he knows he's carrying it but not so big and weighted that he doesn't enjoy it.

Won’t buy again
Size: Tripod, Size: Tripod
It started out great. But then it came apart and my puppy almost swallowed the piece that makes noise. Otherwise, it’s been a good brand of bones. Just not this particular one. The end unscrews and came apart. Not great!

Not for super aggressive chewers
Size: Tripod
Had high hopes, but our super-chewer somehow manages to UNSCREW the ends of the toy. Had to throw it out so she wouldn’t choke
