This reproduction of a naturalist plate of Hyophorbe Amaricaulis comes from the famous monograph by Oswald de Kerchove de Denterghem. The illustration depicts this palm native to Bourbon Island, formerly named Palmiste poison, with great scientific fidelity. Attention is paid to the curvature of the fronds and the texture of the stipe, essential characteristics of this slow-growing species.
Drawn by P. De Pannemaker in 1878, this work illustrates the golden age of horticultural iconography. The use of color and the precision of the line served at the time to document the botanical discoveries of scientific expeditions. The document traces the author's intention to provide a complete and descriptive inventory for institutions and exotic plant enthusiasts.
This antique illustration constitutes a choice piece for a collection of naturalist engravings. It is aimed at observers attentive to the history of science and the decoration of cabinets of curiosities. As a testimony of the 19th century, it offers historical and visual depth to any living or working space.
