Antique Botany Print of The Barringtonia Plant by Cook, 1803
About the Item
The antique botany print, titled 'Bladeren en Bloemen van de Barringtonia,' portrays the leaves and flowers of the Barringtonia plant. This plant, renowned for its unique feature of intoxicating fish, is depicted in the print. The illustration originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook,' a publication documenting James Cook's voyages around the world.
This particular print showcases the botanical details of the Barringtonia plant, capturing its distinctive foliage and flowers. Notably, the Barringtonia plant had a peculiar use in some cultures as a means to catch fish by intoxicating them, a phenomenon illustrated or referenced in the print.
The print is a result of the translation efforts by J.D. Pasteur and was published by Honkoop, Allart en Van Cleef. Its inclusion in a publication documenting Cook's global expeditions highlights the botanical discoveries made during these exploratory journeys, emphasizing the significance of plants like the Barringtonia in various regions and their cultural and practical uses.
Artists and Engravers: Translated by J.D. Pasteur. Published by Honkoop, Allart en Van Cleef.
