About the Item

The antique botany print, titled 'Bladeren en Bloemen van de Barringtonia,' portrays the leaves and flowers of the Barringtonia plant. This plant, renowned for its unique feature of intoxicating fish, is depicted in the print. The illustration originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook,' a publication documenting James Cook's voyages around the world. This particular print showcases the botanical details of the Barringtonia plant, capturing its distinctive foliage and flowers. Notably, the Barringtonia plant had a peculiar use in some cultures as a means to catch fish by intoxicating them, a phenomenon illustrated or referenced in the print. The print is a result of the translation efforts by J.D. Pasteur and was published by Honkoop, Allart en Van Cleef. Its inclusion in a publication documenting Cook's global expeditions highlights the botanical discoveries made during these exploratory journeys, emphasizing the significance of plants like the Barringtonia in various regions and their cultural and practical uses. Artists and Engravers: Translated by J.D. Pasteur. Published by Honkoop, Allart en Van Cleef. We also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
