EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the Aleppo Oak, Quercus infectoria, also known as the Gall Oak or Wasp Oak. The tree is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly in Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. The oak is renowned for its unique gall formations, which are caused by the laying of wasp eggs. These galls, rich in tannins, have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. In Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, the galls have been employed for various therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, and gastrointestinal disorders. The tannins present in the galls act as astringents, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The Aleppo Oak has also been used in the production of leather, due to its high tannin content. The tree's wood is hard and durable, making it suitable for furniture and construction. This engraving is from Dr. Willibald Artus' Handbook of all medical-pharmaceutical plants, published in Jena, Germany, in 1876. The handcoloured copperplate engraving provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Aleppo Oak and its distinctive gall formations. The botanical illustration serves as an important historical record of traditional medicinal practices and the natural world during the late 19th century.
