EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Scotch Fir, Pinus sylvestris, a majestic conifer native to Europe. The image is based on a botanical illustration by David Blair, expertly rendered by Hanhart for the esteemed work "Medicinal Plants" by Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen, published in London in 1880. The Scotch Fir, also known as the Scots Pine, is a popular evergreen tree, easily identified by its distinctive dark green needles, which are arranged in clusters of two, and its cones, which are small and cylindrical. This conifer is a vital component of the northern European forest ecosystem and has been used for various purposes throughout history. The Scotch Fir's needles were traditionally used in herbal medicine for various ailments, including respiratory issues and rheumatism. The tree's resin was also used to make turpentine, which was an essential ingredient in the production of varnishes and paint. This beautiful lithograph not only showcases the botanical beauty of the Scotch Fir but also highlights its historical significance as a valuable medicinal plant. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the tree to life, making it a captivating addition to any botanical collection.
