1. Title: "Bergamot Lemon: A Treasured Botanical Gem" This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, created by Hanhart after a meticulous botanical illustration by David Blair, showcases the enchanting beauty of the Bergamot lemon (Citrus limon, Citrus bergamia). The image is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. The Bergamot lemon, also known as the Bergamot orange, is a unique citrus fruit that boasts a rich, complex flavour profile. Its zest is prized for its distinctive aroma, which is used in perfumes and essential oils. The fruit itself is small, round, and yellow, with a thin, bright yellow rind that is dotted with tiny oil glands. The botanical illustration captures the intricate details of the Bergamot lemon's anatomy, from its delicate flowers and vibrant green leaves to its tiny, bumpy surface. The handcolouring technique adds a vibrant, lifelike quality to the image, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. Bergamot lemons have long been valued for their medicinal properties. They contain limonoids, which have antimicrobial and antiparasitic effects. In traditional herbal medicine, the fruit and its oil have been used to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, fever, and skin conditions. This print is not only a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, but also a reminder of the rich history of botanical exploration and discovery. It invites us to appreciate the wonders of the plant kingdom and the knowledge that has been passed down through generations.
