EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two varieties of the tamarisk tree, Tamarix gallica, as depicted in a 19th-century Iranian book. The illustration is based on the work of Greek physician and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides from the 1st century AD, specifically his renowned De Materia Medica. Mirza Baqir skillfully recreated this ancient artwork with intricate calligraphy and precise engravings. The image transports us back in time to explore the rich history of herbal medicine and its significance in various cultures. With its roots deeply embedded in Islamic traditions, this botanical masterpiece offers a glimpse into the world of pharmacology during that era. The tamarisk tree has long been valued for its medicinal properties, making it an essential component of ancient pharmacopeias.
