EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Malabar Kino, also known as the Indian Kino Tree or Vijayasar (Pterocarpus marsupium), a vulnerable species native to India. The tree is renowned for its medicinal properties and has been used extensively in Ayurvedic and traditional Indian medicine for centuries. The Malabar Kino tree is a medium-sized, deciduous tree, characterized by its distinctive, corky bark that exudes a red resin when cut. This resin, known as Kino, is the source of its medicinal value. It has been used to treat a wide range of ailments, including wounds, inflammation, and diarrhea. This beautiful engraving is taken from Dr. Willibald Artus' Hand-Atlas sammtlicher mediinisch-pharmaceutischer Gewachse, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants was a comprehensive guide to the identification and use of medicinal plants, featuring high-quality illustrations produced using the copperplate engraving technique. The Malabar Kino tree is now considered vulnerable due to overexploitation of its resin and deforestation. Efforts are being made to conserve this important plant and promote sustainable harvesting practices to ensure its continued availability for future generations. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage of medicinal plants and the importance of preserving them for the benefit of humanity.
