1. Title: Abelmosk, Abelmoschus moschatus (Annual Hibiscus): A Handcoloured Steel Engraving of this Aromatic and Medicinal Plant This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts Abelmosk, also known as Abelmoschus moschatus, Annual Hibiscus, or Musk Hibiscus. The image is based on a botanical illustration by Edouard Maubert, created for the renowned work "La Regne Vegetal: Flore Medicale" by Pierre Oscar Reveil, published by A. Dupuis, Fr. Gerard, and Francois Herincqs in Paris between 1864 and 1871. Abelmosk is an annual herb, native to the Mediterranean, India, and tropical Africa. It is characterized by its large, velvety leaves and vibrant, hibiscus-like flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, red, and white. The plant is highly valued for its aromatic seeds, which release a musky fragrance when crushed. These seeds are used extensively in perfumery, particularly in the production of ambrette seed oil, a popular ingredient in various perfumes and cosmetics. Abelmosk has significant medicinal properties and has been used in traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, for treating various ailments. The plant is rich in essential nutrients and is believed to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. The seeds are used to alleviate pain, reduce fever, and improve digestion, while the leaves are used to treat skin conditions and wounds. The intricate details of the Abelmosk plant are beautifully captured in this handcoloured steel engraving by Lagesse. The delicate shading and precise lines bring the various elements of the plant to life, making it an essential addition to any botanical collection. This engraving not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Abelmosk plant but also highlights its importance as a valuable aromatic and medicinal resource.
