Description

This detailed botanical illustration depicts Abies alba, the European silver fir, rendered with scientific precision across a cream background. The plate features a spreading fir branch with dense needles, a large elongated pine cone, and an array of dissected botanical specimens including seeds, scales, pollen structures, and cross-sections — characteristic of the meticulous chromolithographic plates published in Franz Eugen Köhler's 'Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen' (1887), a landmark German reference work cataloguing medicinal plants. Abies alba is native to the mountainous regions of central and southern Europe, including the Alps and Carpathians, and has long been valued for its resin and timber.
