Description: Includes a description sheet (in Dutch) and a dispersion map for this plant in the Netherlands. One of the plates from the mammoth publication titled 'Flora Batava, of Afbeelding en beschrijving van Nederlandsche Gewassen', published from 1800-1934 by several Dutch publishers, including Loosjes and Nijhoff). In total the 461 periodic issues contained 2240 prints. The initial publisher was J.C. Sepp. The long publication period reflects the change in the technique of its illustrations. Hand coloured copper engravings were initially used, followed by hand coloured lithographs, and finally chromolithography was introduced. Initially the texts and editing work were done by Jan Kops, although several other would follow during the 134-year span in which this work was published.

Description: This plate originates from the very scarse: 'La galerie agreable du monde (...). Tome Troisieme d'Afrique.', published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725. This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, meurs, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced. It is said that only 100 copies were printed. Ref: Koeman Aa9; Phillips 2780 note. This plate is a re-freshed and partially re-engraved and altered plate first published in 'Naukeurige Beschrijvingen der Afrikaensche gewesten (...).', and 'Naukeurige beschrijvinge der Afrikaensche eylanden (...).', by Olfert Dapper (1639 - 1689).

Description: From 'Der verunruhigte Hollandische Low…', (and Continuatio, Dritter Theil, Vierdter Theil) by Amadeum von Fridleben, published in Nurenberg by Johann Hoffmann, 1673. This rare work describes the history of the Dutch war from 1671-1673 translated in German from Dutch sources and is quite rare. Artists and Engravers: Made by an anonymous engraver after 'Fridleben (author) - based on other mostly Dutch sources.'. We found an engraver/etcher associated with this work to be Hipschman, whose name is on one of the plates. Possibly Sigmund Gabriel Hipschmann (1639-?) who was a German painter and engraver from Nurenberg.
