EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the beauty of the Rattan Palm, also known as Rotang cane or Calamus rotang.

The print captures the essence of this remarkable plant with its detailed depiction of the palm's branches, fruit, and leaves. Sowerby's skillful artistry brings to life the various plants that make up this species, showcasing their natural beauty. Dating back to the 19th century, this print is a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era.
