Original Print of the Ricinus Communis, the Castorbean or Castor-Oil-Plant, 1696

About the Item

Antique print, titled: 'Ricinus Americanus Major Rubicundus' This original old antique print shows the Ricinus communis, the castorbean or castor-oil-plant. This plate originates from: ''Naauwkeurige Beschryving der Aardgewassen, Waar in de veelerley Aart en bijzondere Eigenschappen der Boomen, Heesters, Kruyden, Bloemen, Met haare Vrugten, Zaden, Wortelen en Bollen, Neevens derzelver waare Voort-Teeling, gelukkige Aanwinning, en heylzaame Genees-Krachten, Na een veel-jarige Oeffening en eigen Ondervinding, In drei onderscheide Boeken, naauwkeuriglijk beschreeven worden; Door den Heer...', by A. Munting, published by Pieter vander Aa and Francois Halma Utrecht and Leiden, 1696. This work enjoyed particular success, at least in part due to the novelty of the plates, which in a radical departure from the iconography of the traditional florilegium, presented its plant species against a charming series of landscape backgrounds The illustrations are remarkable for their elegance and originality. Artists and engravers: Made by an anonymous engraver after 'Abraham Munting'.
