EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Diseases of plants" showcases the intricate world of plant diseases as depicted by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, offers a vivid portrayal of various plant ailments through vibrant colour lithography. The print features nine distinct diseases that afflict different types of plants. From smut and bunt affecting grains like oats, wheat, and barley to ergot attacking rye crops, each disease is meticulously illustrated with accompanying descriptions. Rust caused by puccina graminis on cereal stems and leaves is also highlighted alongside its impact on barberry leaves. Other diseases showcased include oidium tuckeri affecting vine leaves and phytophthora infestans causing potato disease. These images provide valuable insights into the devastating consequences these ailments have on agricultural productivity. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; it magnifies spores and germination processes while showcasing microscopic structures such as sclerotia, stromata, perithecia, ascus with spores, teleuto spores, uredospores, brown teleutospores, concidia threads with thallus threads bearing conidia. Overall, this print serves as an educational tool for understanding plant pathology during a time when scientific knowledge about these diseases was still developing. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and botanical research from centuries past.
