About the Item

This antique print, titled "Sesamum Persicum Trilobatum Foetidum," depicts the Sesame plant (Sesamum indicum), known for its seeds and oil. Sesame is one of the oldest oilseed crops, cultivated for over 3,000 years. It is valued for its rich oil content and health benefits, often used in cooking, cosmetics, and traditional medicines. The plant thrives in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily in India, Africa, and parts of Asia, where it is grown for both its seeds and the oil extracted from them. 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.
