EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Common Elm tree, Ulmus campestris, as illustrated by David Blair for Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants" published in London in 1880. The meticulous attention to detail in both the botanical illustration and the subsequent lithographic process is evident in the intricate depiction of the elm's leaves, twigs, and bark. The Common Elm, also known as the English Elm or the Wych Elm, is a native tree species to Europe and is widely distributed throughout the United Kingdom. It is a deciduous tree, meaning it sheds its leaves annually, and can grow to impressive heights, with some specimens reaching over 30 meters. The Common Elm is easily identified by its distinctive zigzag bark and its leaves, which are ovate or elliptical in shape and have a serrated margin. The Common Elm has a long history of use in herbal medicine. The bark was used to treat various ailments, including diarrhea, dysentery, and even as a substitute for quinine in the treatment of malaria. The leaves were used to make a tea that was believed to help with digestive issues and as a blood purifier. The sap was also used to make a syrup that was used to treat coughs and sore throats. This beautiful and intricate print is a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of plants in both scientific discovery and traditional medicine. It serves as a reminder of the natural world's vast array of resources and the importance of preserving and understanding them.
