EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Ash tree, Fraxinus excelsior, in all its glory. The botanical illustration was created by David Blair and expertly reproduced as a lithograph by Hanhart for the publication "Medicinal Plants" by Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen in London, 1880. The Ash tree, also known as the common ash, is a majestic and widely distributed tree native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia. Its distinctive features include its opposite branches, compound leaves with five to nine leaflets, and the distinctive samara fruits, also known as key-shaped seeds. The Ash tree has a long history of medicinal use, with various parts of the tree being used in herbal medicine for a range of ailments. The bark was used to treat conditions such as diarrhea, dysentery, and gastrointestinal issues. The leaves were used to make a tea to help with respiratory problems, and the seeds were used to treat conditions such as gout and rheumatism. The Ash tree is also an important tree in the natural world, providing habitat for a variety of wildlife, including insects, birds, and mammals. The tree's helicopter seeds are particularly noteworthy, as they are carried by the wind and can travel long distances, allowing the tree to easily spread and colonize new areas. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of the Ash tree but also highlights its historical significance in herbal medicine and the natural world.
