EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Bergamot Orange - A Fragrant and Medicinal Citrus Species Bergamot Orange, scientifically known as Citrus bergamia, is a unique and captivating citrus fruit that has been admired for its distinctive flavor and medicinal properties for centuries. This exquisite chromolithograph print, derived from a botanical illustration in Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, provides a stunning and detailed representation of this intriguing fruit. Originating in the Calabria region of southern Italy, Bergamot Orange is a hybrid between a sour orange and a lemon or a lime. Its peel is used extensively in perfumery, giving Earl Grey tea its characteristic bergamot flavor, and in the food industry for its unique, sweet, and slightly bitter taste. The Bergamot Orange tree, depicted in the print, is a small, evergreen tree with thorny branches and glossy, dark-green leaves. The fruit itself is round to oval in shape, with a yellow-green color and a thin, smooth rind. The print highlights the intricate details of the fruit's surface, revealing the tiny oil glands that produce the precious essential oil. Bergamot Orange has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments, including digestive issues, anxiety, and skin conditions. The essential oil, extracted from the peel, is rich in limonoids, flavonoids, and other compounds that contribute to its therapeutic properties. This chromolithograph not only showcases the beauty of the Bergamot Orange but also serves as a testament to the rich history of botanical illustration and the importance of documenting the natural world.
