EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the wheat plant, Triticum vulgare, also known as bread wheat. Wheat is a vital cereal crop and a staple food for millions of people around the world. The plant is shown in great detail, from the intricately patterned seeds in the lower left corner, to the tall, slender stalks topped with the distinctive, feathery inflorescences. Wheat is an ancient grain, with evidence of its cultivation dating back over 10,000 years. It is believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East. The plant is grown for its seeds, which are rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and other essential nutrients. Once harvested, the seeds are ground into flour, which is used to make a wide variety of foods, including bread, pasta, and baked goods. The botanical illustration was created by Walther Muller and published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst. The publication was produced by the renowned German botanical printing company Koehler, based in Gotha. The chromolithograph process used to create this print allowed for a high level of detail and vibrant colors, making it an accurate and beautiful representation of the wheat plant. Today, wheat is grown on a massive scale, with China, India, and the United States being the top producers. It is a crucial component of a healthy and balanced diet, providing energy and essential nutrients to people all over the world.
