EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Corchorus olitorius," depicts the Jews Mallow plant, also known as Nalta jute, Tossa jute, or simply Jews Mallow. The illustration was created by the renowned botanical artist William Jackson Hooker and engraved by Swan, for publication in the esteemed Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine in London, in 1828. The Jews Mallow is a herbaceous annual plant native to tropical regions of Asia and Africa. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and is grown primarily for its edible fibers and nutritious seeds, which are rich in protein and minerals. The plant's leaves and young shoots are also eaten as a vegetable, and the plant is sometimes used to make a tea. The illustration beautifully captures the intricate details of the plant's various parts. The large, lobed leaves are depicted in lush greens, while the delicate flowers are shown in shades of pink and white. The engraving also highlights the plant's fibers, which are prominently displayed in the lower left corner of the image. These fibers were once used to make a coarse fabric known as jute, which was widely used for making sacks and other industrial textiles. The Jews Mallow was an important crop in many parts of the world, particularly in India, where it was cultivated for both its fibers and edible parts. The plant's versatility and nutritional value made it a staple food source for many communities, and it continues to be an essential component of traditional diets in various parts of Asia and Africa. This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the beauty and importance of the Jews Mallow plant, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that has been preserved through the pages of the Samuel Curtis Botanical Magazine.
