EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration by Mirza Baqir, found in a 19th-century Iranian book of the renowned Greek physician and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides. The artwork depicts three types of thyme, as identified in the book. With intricate calligraphy and exquisite detail, this archival piece is a testament to the rich history of herbal medicine. The ancient text, De Materia Medica, written by Dioscorides in the 1st century AD, serves as an invaluable resource for pharmacologists and herbalists alike. It explores various medicinal plants and their uses within different cultures. In this particular illustration, we witness the beauty of thyme varieties cultivated during that era. The vibrant colors and delicate engravings bring these botanical wonders to life on paper. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also highlights the intersection between art and science. It demonstrates how illustrations were crucial tools for documenting plant species before photography became widely available. As we gaze upon this vertical masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistic prowess of Mirza Baqir but also gain insight into ancient agricultural practices. This fine art print is truly a treasure for those fascinated by horticulture or anyone seeking to appreciate nature's bounty through an artist's lens.
