These prints measure approximately 19 inches wide by 15 inches long.

These beautiful botanical engravings are from Hortus Indicus Malabaricus, continens regni Malabarici apud Indos celeberrimi omnis generis plantas rariores, Latinis, Malabaricis, Arabicis, a compendium of the plants of economic value in the south Indian Malabar region.  Another gift of the colonial era, it was edited by Hendrik A. van Rheede, head of the Dutch East Indies Company in India in 1684.   It was the first book of the flora of the East Indies.  Published in twelve volumes in 1686, it was the collaborative effort of almost one hundred artists, scientists, professors, and company officials, who contributed to this work by collecting specimens, creating drawings, crafting the plates, and editing the material. 

The prints feature the plant's name in Latin, Malayalam, Arabic, and Sanskrit.  The condition of the prints is excellent, with only a little foxing that is mostly marginal.  They are on handmade chain-lined paper, measuring approximately 19 inches wide by 15 inches long.
