EDITORS COMMENTS
Pellitory of Spain, Anacyclus pyrethrum, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph by Hanhart, based on the botanical illustration by David Blair from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants" published in London in 1880. The intricately detailed image showcases the unique features of this herbaceous perennial plant, native to the Mediterranean region. Pellitory of Spain, also known as Ragwort or Pyrethrum Ragwort, is characterized by its fern-like leaves and bright yellow flowers. The plant belongs to the family Asteraceae and was traditionally used in herbal medicine for various ailments, including respiratory issues, fevers, and digestive problems. The lithograph is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and printers of the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and precise lines bring the plant to life, providing an accurate representation of its natural form. The image also showcases the apothecary value of the plant, highlighting its medicinal uses. The use of Pellitory of Spain in herbal medicine dates back to ancient times, with records of its use by the Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. The plant contains pyrethrins, which are natural insecticides, making it a valuable addition to traditional medicine and modern pesticides. This beautiful and historically significant image is a reminder of the rich botanical heritage and the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
