EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Coffea arabica: The Enchanting Coffee Plant" This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Coffea arabica plant, the primary source of the world's most beloved beverage - coffee. Created by the skilled hand of F. Kirchner for Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher medicinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse (Handbook of General Medical-Pharmaceutical Plants) published in Jena, Germany, in 1848, this botanical illustration is a testament to the intricacies and beauty of nature. The Coffea arabica plant is depicted in its full glory, with its glossy, oval leaves and clusters of delicate white flowers. The red berries, which eventually ripen to yield the cherries containing the precious coffee beans, are also visible in the illustration. The plant's elegant stem, adorned with tendrils, is entwined around a supporting structure, emphasizing its natural growth habit. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the plant's anatomical features, providing a glimpse into the scientific understanding of Coffea arabica during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors bring the plant to life, making it an essential addition to any botanical or herbal collection. This illustration not only showcases the beauty of the Coffea arabica plant but also highlights the importance of botanical research and documentation during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of coffee and the continuous fascination it holds for people across the globe. In summary, this hand-colored copperplate engraving of the Coffea arabica plant is an exquisite example of 19th-century botanical illustration. It not only captures the plant's natural beauty but also provides insight into the scientific understanding of this essential commodity during that era.
