EDITORS COMMENTS
Maize, scientifically known as Zea mays, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The intricate detail of the engraving showcases the various parts of the maize plant, from its tall, sturdy stalk to the delicate, tasseled inflorescence at the top, and the rows of plump, golden kernels nestled within the ears. Maize, also known as corn or sweetcorn, is a significant cereal crop and an essential source of food for millions of people around the world. Originally domesticated by indigenous peoples in Central America over 10,000 years ago, maize has since spread to become a staple in many cultures and cuisines. The plant's versatility is evident in its various uses, from the production of ethanol fuel to the creation of animal feed and, of course, as a nutritious and delicious food source. With its rich history and continued importance in agriculture and nutrition, it is no wonder that maize remains a subject of fascination and study in the scientific community. This beautiful engraving serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the artistry of the botanical illustrator.
