EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Arum maculatum, commonly known as the Arum lily. The Arum lily is a perennial herb native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, characterized by its distinctive large, hooded, and often fragrant white or pink spathe and spadix. The plant belongs to the Arum family (Araceae) and has historically been used for medicinal and ornamental purposes. The Arum lily's intricate and alluring appearance is beautifully captured in this exquisite engraving from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration showcases the delicate veining on the spathe and the intricate patterns on the spadix, which are essential features of the Arum lily. The Arum lily has a rich history in traditional medicine, with various parts of the plant being used to treat ailments such as rheumatism, gout, and skin conditions. The rhizome, or underground stem, is particularly valued for its medicinal properties. However, it is important to note that the use of Arum lily in medicine should only be undertaken under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Today, the Arum lily is cultivated for its ornamental value and is a popular addition to gardens around the world. Its unique and captivating appearance continues to fascinate botanists, horticulturists, and garden enthusiasts alike. This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the enduring allure of the Arum lily and the importance of documenting the natural world for future generations.
