EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Coffea arabica plant, a native of tropical Africa, renowned for its prized beans that produce the world's most popular beverage - coffee. The image captures the plant in all its botanical glory, with lush green leaves, vibrant white flowers, and ripe red berries. The Coffea arabica plant is an essential source of caffeine, a stimulant that has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. The engraving shows the coffee cherries, each containing two beans, which are encased in the red fruit. Once ripe, the cherries are carefully picked and the beans are extracted, roasted, and ground to release their rich, aromatic essence. This beautiful illustration is from Edouard Winkler's Getreue Abbildung aller in der Pharmacopoea (True Pictures of Pharmacopeia), published in Leipzig in 1843. Winkler was a renowned botanical illustrator of his time, and his meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning engraving. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. Coffee has a rich cultural and historical significance, and this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the botanical origins of this beloved beverage. Whether enjoyed for its invigorating effects or for its medicinal properties, coffee continues to be a source of delight and inspiration for people around the world.
