EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Cinnamon, or Cinnamomum verum (also known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum), a highly prized spice and medicinal herb. The image, created by the skilled hands of botanical illustrator David Blair and masterfully reproduced by lithographer Hanhart, is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's seminal work, "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. Cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka, is derived from the inner bark of the tree, which is then rolled up and dried. The quintessential spice has been cherished for thousands of years for its warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor, making it an essential ingredient in various culinary traditions around the world. Beyond its culinary applications, Cinnamon has long been used in herbal medicine for a myriad of health benefits. It has been traditionally used to alleviate digestive issues, reduce inflammation, and even possesses antimicrobial properties. The bark of the Cinnamon tree is also rich in essential oils, which contribute to its therapeutic properties. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the importance of documenting its wonders. The lush greenery, delicate flowers, and intricately patterned bark are rendered with remarkable precision, making this a true masterpiece of botanical art.
