EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock engraving depicts Roman Chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile (previously known as Anthemis nobilis), a low-growing herb native to Europe and Western Asia. Roman Chamomile, also known as 'true chamomile' or 'garden chamomile,' is distinguished from its cousin, German Chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla, by its fine, aromatic foliage and small white flowers. James Main's meticulous illustration showcases the plant's delicate features, with its finely divided leaves and daisy-like flowers. Main was a Scottish gardener, botanist, and writer, whose works contributed significantly to the field of botanical illustration. This engraving is taken from his publication, 'Popular Botany,' published by Orr and Smith in London in 1835. Roman Chamomile has been used for centuries for its medicinal and aromatic properties. The plant contains volatile oils, including bisabolol and alpha-bisabolol, which contribute to its calming and anti-inflammatory effects. The plant is commonly used to make herbal tea, which is known for its soothing properties, particularly for digestive issues and anxiety. The intricate details of the engraving capture the essence of the plant, providing a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Main's dedication to botanical accuracy and artistic detail makes this illustration a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
