EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the ginger root, or Rhizome Zingiber Officinale, from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas Sammtlicher Medizinisch-Pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. Ginger, a popular and widely used herb, is native to Asia and is known for its pungent, aromatic properties. The plant belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and thrives in tropical climates. In traditional medicine, ginger has been used for thousands of years to alleviate various ailments, including nausea, motion sickness, and inflammation. The rhizome, or underground stem, is the part of the plant that is most commonly used for medicinal purposes. In this beautiful illustration, the ginger root is shown in intricate detail, revealing its fibrous texture and distinctive knobby appearance. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and dimension to the engraving, highlighting the root's vibrant, orange-brown hue. The Hand-Atlas Sammtlicher Medizinisch-Pharmaceutischer Gewachse was a comprehensive botanical reference work, featuring over 3,000 plant species. Dr. Willibald Artus, a renowned botanist and pharmacist, oversaw the production of this important work, which was designed to aid medical professionals in the identification and classification of medicinal plants. This ginger illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill that went into creating this valuable resource for the medical community over a century ago.
