EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Common Fig, Ficus carica, a beloved fruit tree native to the Mediterranean region. The fig tree is renowned for its edible figs, which have been cultivated for their sweet and succulent fruit since ancient times. The intricate details of the tree's leaves, branches, and figs are beautifully rendered in this exquisite illustration from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Common Fig is not only prized for its delicious fruit but also for its medicinal properties. Figs have been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, constipation, and diarrhea. The milky latex found within the fig's unripe fruit has been used topically to treat wounds and skin conditions. The fig tree is an evergreen, deciduous tree that can grow up to 30 feet tall. Its broad, lobed leaves are arranged alternately on the branches, and its figs grow in clusters, enclosed in a receptacle that develops into a hollow, fleshy structure called a syconium. The syconium serves as a protective covering for the figs, which develop inside. This beautiful and informative botanical illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the 19th century. It provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural beauty of the Common Fig and the important role it played in both medicine and horticulture.
