Throughout the seventeenth century, Dutch merchants travelling and trading in the East and West Indies brought back to the Netherlands specimens of new and exotic plants.The botanist Jan Commelin was a specialist in exotic plants and helped to establish the botanical garden in Amsterdam where they could be cultivated and observed by the public. The illustrations in this catalogue of the garden were mostly made by the accomplished botanical artist Jan Moninckx (c. 1656-1714) and his daughter Maria, though some others were completed by Johanna Helena Herolt (1668-1723), the eldest daughter of Maria Sibylla Merian.
Provenance
Probably from the collection of the botanist William Forsyth - an annotation below fig. 15 in this volume is in his hand. Acquired by William IV following Forsyth's death in 1835.
