The Production of Quinine in India
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate process of quinine production in India. The print captures a bustling scene filled with activity and reveals the remarkable ingenuity of Indian agriculture. In this image, we see a picturesque landscape featuring a river teeming with life - the River Teestah. A magnificent cane suspension bridge stretches across it, serving as a vital buttress for transportation and trade. This engineering marvel not only showcases human innovation but also highlights the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The focus of this engraving lies on the cultivation of Cinchona succirubra, commonly known as quinine tree or "Great Runjeet". Native to Sikkim, these trees play an essential role in producing quinine - a powerful medicinal compound used to treat malaria. Indian farmers are depicted diligently tending to their crops amidst breathtaking topography. This artwork provides us with an insight into Indian culture and its rich agricultural heritage. It celebrates the industriousness and resourcefulness of Indian farmers who have mastered sustainable farming practices over generations. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both the beauty captured within this print and acknowledge its significance in portraying Asia's contribution to global medicine through quinine production in India.
