ORIGINAL ANTIQUE CHROMOLITHOGRAPH
Tafel 30
Honeysuckle, Woodbine
In William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night's Dream he refers to woodbine/honeysuckle twice:
(Act II Scene 1) "Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine"
(Act IV Scene 1) "So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle gently entwine"
It seems probable that the first quotation is referring to the honeysuckle L. periclymenum, a common sight
in hedgerows in Shakespeare’s time. The second quotation is somewhat more confusing. It is thought that on this
occasion, "woodbine" refers to a species of Convolvulus, also very common but nowadays called "bindweed".
Das Wald-Geißblatt (Lonicera periclymenum)
This original antique chromolithograph is taken from
Prof. Dr. Otto Schmeil's "Lehrbuch der Botanik",
published by Erwin Naegele, Leipzig/Germany, 1908.
Otto Schmeil (1860 - 1943) was a German zoologist, botanist and educator.
He is remembered for his reform efforts in regards to biology education; as a zoologist,
he specialized in research of copepods.
Following the death of his parents, he became a student of the Francke Foundations in Halle an der Saale.
Beginning in 1880, he worked as schoolteacher in the community of Zörbig, then returned to Halle as a teacher in 1883.
In 1891 he obtained his doctorate in zoology at Leipzig as a student of Rudolf Leuckart, and three years later was named
rector of the Wilhelmstädter Volksschule in Magdeburg. In 1904 he left the teaching profession in order to pursue a literary career.
During his tenure at Magdeburg, he focused on education reform, in particular, the teaching of biology. In this regard, he
strove to move away from the literal approach of instruction, while stressing the need for students to observe nature firsthand
and to discover its causal relationships. His "Über die Reformbestrebungen auf dem Gebiete des naturgeschichtlichen Unterrichts"
(On reform efforts in the areas of natural history teaching) was published over several editions.
