EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Oriental Sweetgum tree, scientifically known as Liquidambar orientalis. Native to the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia, this tree is also commonly referred to as the Turkish Sweetgum. The vibrant illustration showcases the tree's distinctive star-shaped leaves, which transform from green in the summer to a brilliant red, orange, and yellow in the fall. The tree's bark is also prominently featured, displaying its unique, irregular, and scaly texture. The Oriental Sweetgum has been a subject of interest for botanists and medical practitioners for centuries. In traditional medicine, various parts of the tree have been used for a range of therapeutic purposes. The bark has been used to treat wounds, diarrhea, and dysentery, while the leaves have been used to alleviate fever and as a remedy for respiratory issues. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the intricacy and detail that went into botanical research during the late 19th century. It was created as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, a comprehensive work edited by Gustav Pabst and published in Germany in 1887. The illustration showcases the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques of the time, making it a valuable addition to any botanical or historical collection.
