EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases the Quinine bark tree, Cinchona officinalis, and jalap, Ipomoea purga, in all their botanical glory. The intricate details of the leaves, flowers, and bark are beautifully captured in this 18th-century print.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a German publisher and man of arts, curated a 12-volume encyclopedia for children filled with illustrations on natural history, science, costume, mythology, and more. This particular image is just one example of the exquisite engravings found within his collection.
The Quinine bark tree is known for its medicinal properties and is used to produce quinine - a key ingredient in treating malaria. On the other hand, jalap is a plant valued for its purgative qualities. Both plants play important roles in traditional medicine practices.
As you admire this print depicting these botanical wonders from centuries past, you can't help but appreciate the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating such a masterpiece. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of nature's gifts that have been cherished throughout history.
