Antique Date Palm
Coconut Botanical Scene, Phoenix
Cocos, c.1831
Description:
This richly illustrated botanical scene depicts the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) within a tropical landscape, including human figures harvesting fruit. Unlike purely analytical plates, this composition combines botany with ethnographic context.

Original hand coloring is lively and atmospheric, making this one of the most decorative plates in the entire series.
