EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Barley, Hordeum vulgare - A Timeless Cereal Grain Barley, Hordeum vulgare, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of the barley plant, a vital cereal grain that has been an essential component of human diets for thousands of years. The image reveals the various stages of the barley plant, from the emergence of the seedling to the development of the mature ear of grain. The delicate, wavy lines of the engraving capture the graceful curves of the plant's stems and leaves, while the vibrant colours bring the tiny flowers and developing grains to life. Barley, a member of the Poaceae family, is one of the oldest cultivated crops, with evidence of its use dating back to 10,000 BCE. It is an essential source of food for both humans and animals, providing essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and various minerals. The grain is also used in the production of malt for brewing beer and distilling spirits, making it a staple in the beverage industry. This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also highlights the importance of barley as a vital food source and a significant historical crop. It is a captivating reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this humble cereal grain.
