Large Antique Chromolithograph of Durio Zibethinus, Durian

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Durio Zibethinus'. Large and rare chromolithograph of the durio zibethinus, the most common tree species in the genus Durio that are known as durian and have edible fruit also known as durian. As with most other durian species, the edible flesh emits a distinctive odour that is strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance; others find the aroma overpowering and revolting. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia. The durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions. This print originates from 'Fruits et Feuillages Choisis de la Flore et de la Pomone de L’ile de Java' published 1863. Chromolithograph by G. Severeyns after Berthe Hoola van Nooten.
