EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1887 showcases the exquisite beauty of Frankincense, as depicted in Koehlers Medicinal Plants. The artwork, created by an anonymous German artist from the 19th century, captures the essence of this aromatic resin derived from Boswellia Carterii tree. Frankincense has been treasured for centuries due to its enchanting scent and various uses. This illustration highlights its significance in incense and perfumes, making it a sought-after ingredient in ancient rituals and modern beauty products alike. The intricate details of the lithograph bring forth the delicate flowers, seeds, leaves, and even the prismatic colors that make up this remarkable plant species. It serves as a testament to both botanical artistry and scientific accuracy prevalent during that era. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork not only celebrates nature's wonders but also pays homage to medicinal plants' vital role throughout history.
