EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant Orange tree and its luscious fruit, a beautiful representation of the Citrus aurantium (Citrus vulgaris) species. The intricately detailed illustration was created by E. Gunther, based on a botanical drawing from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. The Orange tree is shown in full bloom, its glossy green leaves adorned with delicate white flowers. Hanging from the branches are perfectly formed oranges, their bright orange peels contrasting against the deep green foliage. The tree's robust trunk and gnarled branches add to its stately appearance, showcasing its strength and resilience. Oranges, a beloved fruit the world over, have a rich history in both the culinary and medicinal realms. The Citrus aurantium species, also known as the Sweet Orange, is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and was introduced to Europe in the 15th century. Oranges were highly prized for their sweet, juicy fruit and their essential oils, which were used in traditional herbal medicine for various health benefits, including digestive and immune system support. This exquisite chromolithograph not only serves as a testament to the beauty of nature but also highlights the importance of botanical illustrations in documenting and preserving the natural world for generations to come.
