EDITORS COMMENTS
Rue, Ruta graveolens (Rue), is a highly aromatic herb known for its pungent and bitter taste, distinctive yellow flowers, and long history of medicinal use. This stunning chromolithograph is an exquisite example of the botanical illustration artistry of Walther Muller, from Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, published in Germany in 1887. Rue, a member of the Rutaceae family, has been used for various medicinal purposes since ancient times. The plant's essential oil, rich in compounds such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and limonene, has been employed for its antiseptic, antispasmodic, and stimulant properties. Rue was also believed to ward off evil and protect against witches and the plague, earning it the common name 'herb of grace.' In this beautiful illustration, Muller masterfully captures the plant's intricate details, from its slender, branched stems adorned with small, oval leaves, to its delicate, yellow, five-petaled flowers. The deep green hues of the leaves contrast beautifully with the vibrant yellow of the blossoms, creating a visually captivating representation of Rue's botanical allure. As a valuable addition to any botanical or herbal collection, this chromolithograph not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of Rue but also serves as a testament to the rich history and medicinal significance of this remarkable herb.
