EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the May apple, Podophyllum peltatum, also known as mandrake or wild lemon. The image is based on a botanical illustration by David Blair, as featured in Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's Medicinal Plants, published in London in 1880. The May apple is a native plant of Eastern North America, characterized by its large, umbrella-shaped, apple-like fruit that emerges in May. The plant is not related to the true apple, but rather to the barberry family. The May apple has a long history of medicinal use, with the roots containing podophyllin, a powerful toxin that has been used to treat warts, venereal diseases, and intestinal parasites. However, the plant is highly poisonous and can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, nerve damage, and even death if ingested in large quantities. The handcoloured lithograph captures the intricate details of the May apple's leaves, stems, and fruit, providing an accurate representation of the plant's appearance. The use of handcolouring adds an artistic touch to the image, making it a beautiful addition to any botanical collection. The illustration also includes the plant's Latin name, Podophyllum peltatum, and a brief description of its medicinal properties. The May apple remains an intriguing plant due to its unique appearance and historical significance in herbal medicine. However, it is important to note that modern medicine has largely replaced traditional remedies with safer and more effective treatments. This handcoloured lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and the importance of accurate record-keeping in the field of medicine.
