EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Small-leaved Lime or Littleleaf Linden tree, Tilia cordata (Tilia parvifolia), a beautiful and historically significant plant in the Tiliaceae family. The intricate details of the tree's leaves, bark, and flowers are masterfully captured in this illustration, which was created as part of Dr. Willibald Artus' comprehensive Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants (Sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse) published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Small-leaved Lime is a deciduous tree native to Europe, particularly in Central and Eastern regions. It is characterized by its small, oval-shaped leaves, which are typically 5-10 cm long and have a distinctive serrated edge. The tree's flowers are small, fragrant, and yellow, blooming in clusters in late spring. The Small-leaved Lime has been used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes for centuries, with the bark and leaves being used to make teas and tinctures to treat various ailments, including fever, inflammation, and gastrointestinal issues. This stunning illustration provides a glimpse into the rich history of botanical art and the importance of the Small-leaved Lime in traditional medicine. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring techniques showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver and the dedication of Dr. Artus to documenting the natural world for scientific and medicinal purposes.
