EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite coloured engraving of Aloe Ferox, a plant species that has captivated botanists and nature enthusiasts for centuries. Published in 1702 as part of Phytographia Curiosa by Abraham Munting, this artwork is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy found in the natural world. The image depicts a single Aloe Ferox plant, its spiky leaves standing tall and proud within a pot on a plinth. The sharp spikes adorning each leaf serve as both protection and adornment, creating an awe-inspiring sight. The vibrant colours used in the engraving bring life to every detail of this remarkable specimen. Originally published in 1672 without plates under the title Waare Oeffening der Planten, this particular print belongs to the Stapleton Collection and is now housed in a private collection. Its historical significance cannot be understated, as it provides us with valuable insights into botanical studies from centuries past. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the endless wonders that exist within our natural world. It serves as a reminder to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity found in even seemingly simple plants like Aloe Ferox. This print stands as an enduring tribute to nature's ability to inspire and fascinate generation after generation.
