EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured zincograph print of the Quinquina - Quinine bark tree, Cinchona officinalis, captures the beauty and intricacy of this medicinal plant. Illustrated by Miss M. A. Burnett in 1842 for her book "Plantae Utiliores: or Illustrations of Useful Plants," this botanical artwork is a testament to both her talent as an artist and her dedication to showcasing the importance of useful plants.
The Laurel-leaved cinchona, also known as Cinchona condeminea, is renowned for its bark which contains quinine, a key ingredient in treating malaria. The detailed drawing by Miss Burnett allows us to appreciate the delicate leaves and branches of this valuable tree.
It is fascinating to learn that the text accompanying these illustrations was primarily written by her late brother, British botanist Gilbert Thomas Burnett. Their collaboration resulted in a comprehensive and informative work that continues to be admired centuries later.
As we admire this print, we are reminded of the rich history and significance of botanical illustration in documenting plant species for scientific study and appreciation. The Quinquina - Quinine bark tree stands as a symbol of nature's healing properties and the artistry involved in capturing its essence on paper.
