EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the delicate beauty of Wintergreen or mountain tea, Gaultheria procumbens. The intricate botanical illustration by David Blair, reproduced by Hanhart in 1880 for Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's Medicinal Plants, London, showcases the detailed structure of this medicinal plant.
Wintergreen has long been valued for its therapeutic properties in herbal medicine. Known for its aromatic leaves and bright red berries, it is commonly used to make teas and infusions that are believed to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. The plant's common names - mountain tea, tea berry, and jersea tea - reflect its popularity as a soothing beverage.
The careful handcolouring of this lithograph adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the subtle shades of green in Wintergreen's foliage. Each leaf is rendered with precision, highlighting the plant's distinctive shape and texture.
As a symbol of nature's healing power, this print serves as a reminder of the importance of traditional remedies derived from plants like Gaultheria procumbens. It stands as a testament to both the artistry of botanical illustration and the enduring appeal of herbal medicine throughout history.
