EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Persian walnut, scientifically known as Juglans regia. The Persian walnut, also referred to as the English walnut or common walnut, is a large and majestic tree native to the western Asia and Europe. The tree is renowned for its delicious edible nuts, which are rich in nutrients and health benefits. The engraving captures the tree in all its glory, with its large, lobed leaves and intricately textured bark. The tree is shown in its full splendor, with several branches laden with ripe walnuts. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving is evident in the delicate rendering of the leaves, veins, and nuts. The Persian walnut has a long and rich history, both in its native regions and beyond. It has been used for food, medicine, and timber for thousands of years. The nuts are rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential minerals, making them a popular food source. The wood of the tree is also highly valued for its durability and resistance to decay, making it a popular choice for furniture and construction. 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 reference work, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of over 5,000 plants. This particular engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, and a reminder of the importance of preserving natural history through illustration.
