Botanical Illustration of Saint Lawrence's (Madagascar) Seeds and Plants, 1601
Located in Langweer, NL
"Botanical Illustration of Saint Lawrence's Seeds and Plants by De Bry, 1601"
Description: This engraving from Theodore de Bry's collection, produced in 1601, features a botanical study of various seeds and plants native to the island of Saint Lawrence, also known as Madagascar. Each plant is meticulously rendered with Latin letters corresponding to a legend that identifies them. This careful study was part of De Bry’s extensive work to document and illustrate the flora and fauna encountered by European explorers during their voyages to exotic lands.
The illustration captures the diverse plant life from the island, from the bulbous shapes of the roots in the foreground to the towering forms of the trees in the background. The detail in the image reflects the European fascination with new and foreign natural history, a subject that was growing in popularity and significance during the Age of Exploration. De Bry's works served not only as scientific records but also as means to captivate and educate his contemporaries about the wonders of the natural world.
Translation of the Latin text:
"There is a certain tree, its summit dividing into the smallest of branches. From this, the Chaonas nuts are collected. B. The House of...
