EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" depicts the devastating effects of fungal infection Uredo segetum on wheat grain. The decayed ear of wheat is shown at its natural size, magnified to reveal misshapen pistils and sterile anthers, infected wheat dust, barley rust, and healthy wheat flour. Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a German publisher and man of arts known for his encyclopedia for children, created this detailed illustration in 1807. The image serves as a stark reminder of the impact that fungal infections can have on agricultural crops like wheat. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the deformities caused by Uredo segetum, emphasizing the importance of disease prevention and management in farming practices. Through this historical artwork, viewers are transported back to a time when scientific knowledge was being shared through beautifully crafted engravings. It stands as a testament to both the artistic skill of Bertuch and the scientific curiosity surrounding plant pathology during that era. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded of the delicate balance between nature and agriculture, where diseases like Uredo segetum pose constant threats to our food supply. This print serves as a valuable educational tool and a visual representation of the challenges faced by farmers throughout history.
