EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving depicts Quinine or Cinchona bark, specifically the Cinchona officinalis, Cinchona condaminea, and Quinquina gris varieties. The illustration, created by Edouard Maubert and expertly engraved by Debray, is taken from the renowned botanical work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" published by Pierre Oscar Reveil, A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs between 1864 and 1871. Quinine, derived from the bark of the Cinchona tree, was a groundbreaking discovery in the medical world. It was first identified in the late 16th century in South America by the indigenous people who used it to treat fevers. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that its antimalarial properties were fully understood and utilized in Europe. The bark was boiled to extract the quinine, which was then dissolved in water and consumed to treat malaria. The intricate detail of this engraving showcases the various textures and patterns of the Cinchona bark, revealing the complex structure of the plant. The vibrant handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection. This historical piece not only serves as a testament to the scientific advancements of the past but also highlights the importance of natural remedies in medicine.
