EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: English Oak or Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur, Quercus pedunculata) This chromolithograph showcases the grandeur of the English Oak or Pedunculate Oak tree (Quercus robur, Quercus pedunculata), a native species to Europe, particularly in England. The botanical illustration was meticulously created by Walther Müller and published as part of Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst in 1887. The English Oak, also known as the Pedunculate Oak due to its distinctive pedunculate acorns, is a majestic tree that can reach impressive heights, often surpassing 30 meters. Its leaves are large, lobed, and have a distinctive shape, with each leaflet having a pointed tip and a serrated edge. The tree's bark is rough and deeply furrowed, providing a textured backdrop to the smooth, glossy acorns that hang in clusters from the branches. The English Oak is not only a beautiful and iconic tree but also holds significant cultural and historical importance. It has been used for centuries for various purposes, including timber production, fuel, and acorns as a food source for both humans and animals. In mythology and folklore, the oak tree is often considered sacred and a symbol of strength, endurance, and protection. This stunning chromolithograph is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of botanical illustration during the late 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the natural beauty of the English Oak and the importance of preserving these magnificent trees for future generations.
