Botanical Illustration of Cardamom Plant (Cardamomum majus arborescens) , 1696

About the Item

This antique print, titled "Cardamomum majus arborescens," illustrates the Cardamom plant, known for its aromatic seeds, which are commonly used as a spice in both culinary and medicinal contexts. The plant is native to tropical regions of India and Southeast Asia and thrives in humid, forested environments. Cardamom has been valued for centuries for its ability to aid digestion, treat respiratory problems, and its use in flavoring food and beverages, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Abraham Munting (1626–1683) was a Dutch botanist who contributed significantly to plant taxonomy and botanical gardens. His posthumously published work gained popularity for its unique artistic style, blending scientific illustrations with creative depictions.
