Each print measures approximately 10
inches wide by 15 1/2 inches long, and with the mat

We are pleased to offer a selection of hand colored copper
engravings from the 1696 folio edition of “Naauwkeurige
Beschryving Der Aardgewassen” by Abraham Munting, This
is a rare and unusual work depicting plants set in or floating
above distant landscapes. The plants are often large than
life, with decorative scrolls presenting their Latin names. The
surreal & tranquil scenes are enchanting, and the prints are
superbly decorative & highly sought after.
Abraham Munting, born in 1626 in Groningen, was a Dutch
physician, professor, & internationally renowned botanist. He
became director of the Hortus Botanicus at Groningen at the age
of 32 and served in that position until his death in 1683.
