Köhler’s Medicinal Plants Vol. 1

Köhler's Medicinal Plants – Vol. 1 is a prominent source of detailed illustrations of plant species used for medicinal purposes. Published in 1887, this comprehensive botanical catalogue featured over 88 accurate depictions of various medical plants, including their leaves, flowers, and roots. The illustrations were created using chromolithography, a printmaking technique that involves the separation of color with the use of multiple stones. This process allowed for the creation of vibrant and lifelike images that accurately represented each plant species. Today, Köhler's Medicinal Plants – Vol. 1 remains a valuable resource for botanists, pharmacists, and scholars interested in traditional medicines and natural remedies. Its impressive collection of illustrations offers an important glimpse into the history and diversity of herbal medicine across different cultures and regions around the world.
