Artisternst haeckel illustration of medieval alchemical manuscript depiction of a mandrake root. A pale, fleshy humanoid figure emerges from bulbous roots, with dangling limbs that blur the line between roots and legs. It has a cherubic face with minimal features, crowned by sprouting leaves, tendrils, or flowers growing from the skull. The figure is positioned in formal botanical illustration pose, as if for scientific study. The aesthetic should feel aged like yellowed parchment with faded pigments, evoking texts like medieval herbals or Paracelsian alchemical treatises.
A vintage-style illustration resembling an open book. On the left page, a fair-skinned child with a serious expression and rose-tinted cheeks is depicted from the waist up. The child features a wreath of green leaves around its head and its body transitions into thick, gnarled roots, which are connected to a cluster of yellow and brownish-pink onions. These onions, some with delicate root structures extending outwards, are nestled amongst withered, twig-like roots. The child's hands are placed on two of the onions. The background of both pages is a light cream color with a subtle weathered texture and faint distressed marks. The illustration is framed by a thin, dark border suggesting the edges of the book pages.
