EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the beautiful and medicinally important Slippery Elm tree, Ulmus rubra (also known as Ulmus fulva), captured in exquisite detail by botanical illustrator David Blair. The image was published in the comprehensive work "Medicinal Plants" by Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen in London, 1880. The Slippery Elm, also known as Red Elm, is a native North American tree that gained notoriety for its medicinal properties. The inner bark of the tree was used by various indigenous cultures for centuries to treat ailments such as diarrhea, dysentery, and sore throats. The mucilaginous bark, which gives the tree its name, forms a protective coating when in contact with water, making it an effective soothing agent. The lithograph by Hanhart masterfully captures the intricacies of the Slippery Elm's bark, showcasing its unique texture and coloration. The tree is depicted in its natural habitat, with its vibrant autumn foliage providing a beautiful contrast to the rich, earthy tones of the bark. This botanical illustration serves as a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for students of botany, medicine, and natural history, providing a detailed and accurate record of this important medicinal plant. The intricate handcolouring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. Overall, this lithograph is a captivating representation of the Slippery Elm tree and its medicinal significance. It is a reminder of the rich natural resources that have been used for healing throughout history and the importance of preserving and documenting this knowledge for future generations.
