EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty and intricacy of the Frankincense or olibanum tree, Boswellia sacra (Boswellia carterii Birdwood). The detailed illustration, dating back to 1876, is a true testament to the artistry and precision of botanical drawings from that era.
The image showcases the elegant branches and delicate leaves of this sacred tree, known for producing the aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes. The rich history and cultural significance of frankincense are reflected in this exquisite print, which serves as a visual reminder of its importance in ancient rituals and traditions.
Dr. Willibald Artus's Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse provides a comprehensive guide to medicinal and pharmaceutical plants, making this engraving not only a work of art but also an educational resource for those interested in herbal medicine.
As we admire this timeless depiction of the Boswellia sacra tree, we are transported back in time to an era when botanical illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This print is a true treasure for anyone with a passion for nature, history, or traditional remedies.
