EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts Triticum sativum, commonly known as wheat, a staple food source and one of the most widely cultivated cereal crops in the world. The intricately detailed illustration, created by David Blair and expertly hand-colored by Hanhart, is taken from Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. Wheat is an essential component of the human diet, providing carbohydrates, fiber, and various essential nutrients. The grain is used to make a wide range of food products, including bread, pasta, and cereals. In this illustration, the wheat plant is depicted in its mature state, with its tall stalks bearing ripe grains. The medicinal properties of wheat have been recognized since ancient times. The plant was used to treat various ailments, including digestive issues, skin conditions, and even as a pain reliever. In traditional herbal medicine, wheat bran was used to make poultices and compresses to soothe inflammation and promote healing. The botanical illustration captures the beauty and complexity of the wheat plant, showcasing its intricate structure and delicate details. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy, making this a truly captivating piece of art and a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
