Discover the wonders of the Artocarpus altilis, or breadfruit tree, as depicted in engravings from the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and other Pacific islands. This versatile tree, also known as Artocarpus altissima or Artocarpus incisa, has provided sustenance for shipwreck survivors and island communities for centuries. In this coloured engraving, we see the tree laden with its large, potato-like fruit, a staple food source in many Pacific cultures. The breadfruit tree, known as Ki Dulan in Indonesia, is a vital part of the tropical forest ecosystem and a testament to the natural beauty and resilience of the Pacific region.
