EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from a 19th-century Iranian book, depicting two magnificent creatures: the ass (Equus hemionus) and the horse (Equus caballus). The artwork is based on an original creation by Mirza Baqir, inspired by the renowned Greek physician and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides' work De Materia Medica, which dates back to the 1st century AD. The top section of this enchanting illustration features an ass, while the bottom portion portrays a majestic horse. Both animals are meticulously detailed with stunning precision and artistic flair. The calligraphy accompanying this masterpiece adds an authentic touch to its historical significance. This archival piece not only captures the beauty of these equine species but also serves as a testament to their importance in ancient medicinal practices. Within Dioscorides' comprehensive pharmacopeia, various herbs and plants were explored for their potential healing properties. With its vibrant colors and intricate engravings, this vintage artwork transports us back in time to explore the rich history of medicine and herbalism. It offers a glimpse into Islamic culture's reverence for knowledge and nature's bounty. Ken Welsh has skillfully preserved this remarkable piece of artistry through his expert photography. This print is sure to captivate any viewer with its blend of cultural heritage, botanical exploration, and artistic excellence.
