EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured botanical illustration of a Manna ash tree, Fraxinus ornus, captures the intricate beauty of this medicinal plant. Engraved on steel by the talented William Clark, this image is part of John Stephenson and James Morss Churchill's "Medical Botany" from 1831.
The delicate details of the leaves and branches are brought to life in vibrant hues, showcasing the sugar-rich sap that gives the Manna ash its name. This tree has long been valued for its healing properties and was included in pharmacopoeias in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin.
