Maria Sibylla Merian - D. Stoopendaal - Yellow mombin plum blue butterfly Nr.13
Located in EINDHOVEN, NL
From Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium, first published 1705
Engravings by J. Mulder, P. Sluyter (Sluiter) and D. Stoopendaal after Maria Sybilla Merian.
This plate is part of a comprehensive collection comprising 17 plates. Check out other listings to view the entire series.
1964 Hoffman and Campe Verlag, Hamburg Complete production Mladinska Knjiga, Ljubljana/Yugoslavia.
This 1964 official reproduction table come from the editions: Dissertation sur la génération et les transformations des insectes de Surinam, The Hague, Pierre Gosse, 1726, and Over de Voortteeling en Wonderbaerlyke Veranderingen der Surinaamsche insects, Amsterdam, Jean Frederic Bernard, 1730.
YELLOW MOMBIN PLUM AND BLUE
Here again the constitution of the two diagonals, one made up of the fruit cluster and the two delicate blue butterflies, the other made up of the branch of the plant, Spondias mombin from the Anacardiaceae family, the sumac or terebinth family, of which we have the wig bush, the poison sumac and the vinegar tree can be planted in systems.
The yellow mombin plum, also known as yellow plum, is native to tropical America, but has also become naturalized in West Africa and Java. The author did not know anything about a yellow plum culture in Suriname, and she blames the Europeans there for this omission. The juice of the fruit is tart, astringent. I point out the structure, from the fruit cluster to the undeveloped and unfolded leaf all the way up to the flower.
The butterfly is a hairstreak, subfamily Theclinae, family Bluelings, Lycaenidae - the species cannot be identified. According to Maria Sibylla's comments, the heavily spined caterpillars live on the fruit; they only gnaw the leaves when they have no fruit...

Diversity of Tanna: Portraits of a Man and Woman from Vanuatu’s Isle, ca.1785
Located in Langweer, NL
The engraving features two individual portraits side by side, labeled as inhabitants of the island of Tanna, which is part of Vanuatu in the South Pacific.
On the left is "A MAN of the Island of TANNA." He is depicted with a serious, almost stern expression, looking slightly to the side. His facial features are marked by a prominent beard and mustache, and his hair appears long and wavy. This detailed portrayal suggests an effort to capture the unique physical characteristics and possibly the demeanor of the man.
On the right is "A WOMAN of the Island of TANNA." She is shown in a three-quarter view with a gentle expression, looking directly at the viewer. Her hair is styled in tight curls, she wears large hoop earrings, and her clothing drapes softly over her shoulders, indicating a level of adornment and style.
The portraits likely aimed to depict the natural appearance and attire of the people from Tanna as accurately as possible for European audiences of the time. These works often sought to provide a detailed record of the diverse cultures encountered during exploration voyages.
The style of the engraving and the reference to Captain Cook's voyages suggest that it comes from the late 18th century, likely in the period following Cook's final voyage, which ended in 1779. The engravings of Pacific peoples associated with Cook's voyages were often published in the various accounts that proliferated after his travels, as there was a keen interest in the newly contacted peoples of the Pacific.
The text on the engraving says it was "Accurately Engraved for Anderson's Large Folio Edition of the Whole of Capt'n. Cook's Voyages &c. Complete." This indicates that the engraving was made for a specific publication by Anderson, compiling Captain Cook's voyages. George William Anderson is known for his compilation titled "A New, Authentic, and Complete Collection of Voyages Round the World," which was published initially in the 1780s. This collection often included large folio engravings such as this one.
Given this information, we can reasonably estimate that this engraving would have been published sometime in the 1780s. However, without specific publication data, it is not possible to provide an exact year. Such details would typically be found in a library catalog...

Neoclassical Grandeur: An Architectural Study from the Early 1700s
Located in Langweer, NL
The engraving depicts a classical façade of a building, designed with a series of evenly spaced windows and arches on the ground floor, and rectangular windows on the upper floor. The architectural style is neoclassical, characterized by its symmetry, balanced proportions, and the use of classical elements such as pilasters and pediments. Atop the structure sits a central pediment supported by columns, flanked by statues. This could represent a public building or a grand palatial structure. The precise lines and attention to detail suggest that it was intended for scholarly study or as a record of architectural design. The labeling at the bottom, if any, could provide information on the building's location or the architect, but it's not visible in the image.
The engraving is possible part of a series published around the early 18th century by Joan Blaeu, a renowned Dutch cartographer born in 1599 and who passed away in 1673. His works often featured detailed engravings of notable locations. This particular piece would have been published posthumously, as part of a collection that his heirs continued, which was later reissued by publishers like Pierre Mortier. The exact date of publication for this specific engraving is not provided in the information, but it would be within the timeframe of the early 1700s, given the dates of the reissues mentioned and the info behind the watermark that is visible if you hold the print to the light.
The text appears in the paper is a historical note about the Honig family, prominent in the Dutch paper manufacturing industry during the 17th and 18th centuries. Jan Jbz. Honig (1688-1757), the white paper manufacturer from Zaandijk, was the son of paper manufacturer Jacob Cz. Honig(h) (1648-1709). Jan began his independent work in 1738 and continued until 1757. He was the younger brother of Cornelis Jbz. Honig (1683-1755), and together they started the company C & J HONIG in 1709. Following a division of the family business in 1738, Jan took over the mill 'De Vergulde Bijkorf' and also acquired the mill 'De Eendracht'. He was married to Trijntje Claes Caescoper (1689-1763) and operated with his son Jacob Jsz. Honig (1712-1780) under the name J(an) HONIG & ZOON. Around 1741, this firm produced Pro Patria paper featuring the emblem of the Hollandse Tuin as a watermark. By 1764, under the direction of his son Jacob, J. HONIG & ZOON supplied paper to the Amsterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company, using watermarks including the Amsterdam coat of arms...

1687 Portrait of Assan Aga by E. Nessenthaler: A Glimpse into Ottoman Nobility
Located in Langweer, NL
This etching and engraving is a portrait of Assan Aga, created by Elias Nessenthaler, a German artist, in the year 1687.
The artwork features Assan Aga, identified as "Magnus Aleppo Bassa," which suggests he held a significant position in Aleppo, likely a high-ranking official or governor ("Bassa" being a variant of "Pasha", a high-ranking title). The text beneath the portrait indicates that he was a significant adversary ("Perniciem") to the emperor of the Turks, hinting at a historical narrative of conflict or betrayal ("Coniuratus hostis" suggesting a conspiratorial enemy).
The portrait shows Assan Aga adorned in elaborate attire with a turban, indicative of his status and cultural significance during that period. The detail in the etching, from the facial features to the clothing, reflects the artistic skill of Elias Nessenthaler and the styles of portraiture common in the late 17th century. The framing of the image with decorative borders adds to its formal presentation and would have likely been intended for an audience interested in the political and military figures of the time.
Assan Aga, also known as Magnus Aleppo Bassa, was likely a historical figure of significance in Aleppo, bearing the title of Pasha, which indicates a high-ranking official or governor in the Ottoman Empire. The detailed portrait by Elias Nessenthaler, housed in the Royal Collection, hints at his importance during his time. For further details on Assan Aga, you can visit the Royal Collection Trust...
