Butternut Tree (Juglans cinerea): A Stunning Botanical Illustration from the 19th Century This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts the Butternut Tree, scientifically known as Juglans cinerea, also referred to as the White Walnut, Oil Nut, or Butternut. The illustration was created by the skilled botanical artist David Blair and later hand-colored by Hanhart, as part of Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's comprehensive work on Medicinal Plants, published in London in 1880. The Butternut Tree is a native North American species, characterized by its distinctive gray-barked trunk and large, compound leaves. The tree is renowned for its edible nuts, which are rich in oil and have a sweet, buttery flavor, hence the common names "oil nut" and "butter nut." The tree's wood was also highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay, making it a popular choice for various industrial applications. The botanical illustration offers a detailed and accurate representation of the Butternut Tree, capturing the intricacies of its leaves, bark, and nuts. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth, bringing the illustration to life and highlighting the tree's unique features. This image serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the botanical illustrators of the 19th century. It not only showcases the Butternut Tree's natural beauty but also provides valuable information for those interested in botany, herbal medicine, and the natural world.
