EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the vibrant Lemon, Citrus limon, from Dr. Willibald Artus's comprehensive Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The intricate detail of the illustration showcases both the fruit and the blossom of the lemon tree, with the delicate petals of the flower unfurling around the bud. The lemon itself is depicted in all its glory, with its bright yellow rind and juicy segments. The use of the copperplate engraving technique, a popular method for producing high-quality illustrations during the 19th century, adds an elegant and timeless quality to the image. The meticulous handcolouring further enhances the visual appeal, bringing out the subtle variations in colour and texture of the lemon and its blossom. Lemons have long been valued for their medicinal properties, and this handbook was an essential resource for pharmacists, physicians, and botanists of the time. The lemon tree is native to South Asia, and its fruit has been used for centuries for its sour taste, aroma, and therapeutic benefits. The illustration serves as a testament to the importance of the lemon in both the culinary and medicinal worlds during the late 19th century. This image is a beautiful example of the artistry and scientific precision that went into producing botanical illustrations during the Victorian era. It invites us to appreciate the natural beauty of the lemon and the rich history of its use in medicine and cuisine.
