EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Mulberry tree, Morus nigra, bearing its luscious, ripe berries. The image is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. The botanical illustration was carefully executed by David Blair and later hand-coloured by Hanhart. The Mulberry tree is an ancient and versatile plant, native to China, and has been cultivated for its fruit, timber, and medicinal properties for thousands of years. The tree is characterized by its large, broad leaves, which are reminiscent of the shape of the heart. The Mulberry tree can grow up to 30 meters tall and is often identified by its distinctive, silvery bark. The Mulberry fruit is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, and calcium. The berries were traditionally used in herbal medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including diarrhea, dysentery, and anemia. The bark and roots of the Mulberry tree were also used to make a decoction to treat wounds and to reduce inflammation. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the rich history of the Mulberry tree and its many uses, both as a source of nourishment and as a valuable medicinal plant.
