EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnica Montana, commonly known as Arnica or Mountain Tobacco, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the daisy family, Asteraceae. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph by Hanhart, based on a botanical illustration by David Blair from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimner's Medicinal Plants published in London in 1880, showcases the intricate details of this remarkable plant. Arnica Montana is native to the mountainous regions of Europe, Siberia, and North America. It is easily identified by its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers, which bloom from June to August. The plant's rhizomes and roots have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Arnica is renowned for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antiseptic properties, making it a popular herbal remedy for treating bruises, sprains, and muscle pain. The plant's common name, Mountain Tobacco, is derived from its historical use as a substitute for tobacco. The dried and powdered roots were smoked by indigenous peoples in North America to treat respiratory conditions and as a pain reliever. However, modern usage of Arnica Montana is primarily for topical applications. This stunning lithograph not only serves as a testament to the beauty of Arnica Montana but also highlights its importance in the field of herbal medicine. The intricate details of the plant's leaves, flowers, and roots are captured with remarkable accuracy, making this a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
