1. Title: "Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia subsp. pyrenaica (Lavendula vera): A Timeless Herbal Treasure". This exquisitely hand-coloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia subsp. pyrenaica, also known as Lavendula vera. The illustration is an intricate work of art, meticulously created by botanical illustrator David Blair and masterfully reproduced as a lithograph by Hanhart for Robert Bentley and Henry Trimens' "Medicinal Plants" publication in London, 1880. Lavender, a beloved herb in the mint family, is renowned for its distinct aroma and soothing properties. The Lavandula angustifolia subsp. pyrenaica, specifically, is native to the Pyrenees Mountains and is characterized by its narrow, grey-green leaves and dense, spiky purple-blue flowers. The use of Lavender in herbal medicine dates back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. This versatile plant was employed for various purposes, such as treating anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and even as a perfume. In the 1800s, when this lithograph was produced, the medicinal value of Lavender was well-established, and it was a staple in apothecaries and herbal medicine cabinets. The intricate details in this hand-coloured lithograph reveal the delicate structure of the Lavender plant, from its slender stems to its delicate flowers. The vibrant hues of the illustration bring the plant to life, showcasing its allure and charm. This image is not only a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration but also a reminder of the enduring appeal and significance of Lavender in herbal medicine and aromatherapy.
