About the Item
This is a 17th century engraving of a fever or bonduc nut plant entitled "Ban Caretti" by Hendrik van Rheede tot Drakenstein, plate 20 from his 'Hortus Indicus Malabaricus' (Garden of Malabar), published in Amsterdam in 1686 by Johann van Someren. The engraving depicts the Malabar Ban Caretti plant, which is native to South Asia, originally in the rainy tropical regions of the Malabar Coast of India and Sri Lanka, but it is now grown in backyard gardens around the world. The publication features illustrations of exotic plants and fruits labelled with script in Latin, Malay, Arabic, and Sanskrit. Hortus Indicus Malabaricus is believed to be the earliest comprehensive published work on the flora of Asia and the tropics. The 17th century treatise featured important illustrations of 740 plants of the region, including Indian medicinal plants.
The engraving is printed on 17th century laid, chain-linked paper. The sheet measures 15" high by 18.63" wide. There is a central fold, as issued. There are a small number of tiny spots and faint discoloration at the outer edge of the upper and right margins. The print is otherwise in excellent condition. The original Latin descriptive text page is included.
There are two additional Rheede botanical engravings from his 'Hortus Indicus Malabaricus' publication that are listed on my 1stdibs storefront. These would make for an impressive display grouping. A discount is available for purchase of two or more of the prints. To view the additional Rheede prints, enter their reference number in the 1stdibs search field: LU1173211002002 and LU1173211002322.
