EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Hanhart, based on a botanical illustration by David Blair from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants" published in London in 1880, showcases the Coffea arabica plant, the primary source of the popular beverage known as coffee. The plant is depicted in great detail, with its glossy leaves, white flowers, and clusters of bright red berries, each containing two seeds or coffee beans. Coffea arabica, native to Ethiopia and South Sudan, is a shrub that thrives in high altitude, tropical regions. It has been cultivated for over a thousand years for its seeds, which are roasted and ground to make coffee. The preparation of this beverage has a rich cultural history, with various methods used around the world to extract the flavourful compounds from the beans. The medicinal properties of coffee have also been recognized since ancient times. The plant contains caffeine, a stimulant that can help increase alertness and focus. It has been used to treat various ailments, including headaches, fatigue, and even depression. However, excessive consumption of coffee can lead to negative side effects, such as insomnia, anxiety, and digestive issues. The intricate illustration of the Coffea arabica plant in this lithograph is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of coffee, both as a beloved beverage and a valuable source of medicinal compounds.
