EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts the Spurge Laurel, or Daphne laureola, a small, evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of botanical artist David Blair and expertly reproduced by lithographer Hanhart, is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. The Spurge Laurel is characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves, which are reminiscent of those found on bay laurel, hence its common name. The shrub bears small, pink or white flowers in late winter or early spring, followed by red berries. The Spurge Laurel has a long history of medicinal use, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. It was used to treat a variety of ailments, including gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems, and as a diuretic. The shrub's leaves were also used to make a fragrant tea, which was believed to have calming properties. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate record of the plant's appearance, making it an invaluable resource for botanical and medical research. The intricate details of the veining on the leaves and the delicate rendering of the flowers are particularly noteworthy. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. This lithograph is a testament to the meticulous work of the botanical illustrators and lithographers of the late 19th century, who dedicated themselves to the accurate and beautiful documentation of the natural world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, both for its aesthetic value and for the potential medicinal benefits it can provide.
