EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricacies of the Coriander plant, scientifically known as Coriandrum sativum. The image is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The meticulously detailed illustration highlights the various morphological features of the herb, including its slender stems, feathery leaves, and umbellate inflorescence. Coriander, also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is an ancient herb and spice that has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Its leaves and stems are commonly used as a herb in various cuisines around the world, while its seeds are used as a spice. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region and southern Asia, and it is now widely cultivated in many parts of the world. The medicinal properties of coriander have been documented in traditional systems of medicine, including Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. The plant is believed to have carminative, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used to treat digestive disorders, respiratory infections, and skin conditions, among other ailments. This beautiful and informative illustration is a testament to the rich botanical knowledge of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world around us.
