EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the Sambucus Ebulus, a remarkable plant known for its medicinal properties. The coloured engraving, featured in Johann Daniel von Reitter's comprehensive work on all species of wood published between 1803 and 1805, beautifully captures the intricate details of this botanical wonder. Also referred to as black berry, blood hilder, or dane weed among many other names, the Sambucus Ebulus is renowned for its ability to treat respiratory illnesses and fever. Its pungent smelling fruit has been traditionally used in remedies aimed at alleviating these ailments. The illustration portrays the European dwarf elder with its serrated leaves and delicate white flowers adorned with pink edges. Every element of this image exudes elegance and precision that can only be found in German school artwork from the 19th century. Part of the historica graphica collection, this print serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only nature's beauty but also humanity's quest for knowledge through meticulous observation and documentation. While it is important to note that this print should not be used commercially without proper authorization, it remains an invaluable piece within Heritage Images' collection – preserving history while celebrating nature's wonders.
