Jackfruit, native to Africa and the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, is a fascinating fruit that has captured the attention of artists and explorers throughout history. Its majestic presence on trees, depicted in handcoloured copperplate engravings by Andrea Bernieri after François Solvyns, showcases its grandeur. In Vallee de Mai National Park on Seychelles' Praslin Island, jackfruit thrives alongside other tropical wonders like the Areca palm and pineapple. This vibrant ecosystem attracts diverse creatures such as water buffalo and orangutans who find solace amidst this natural abundance. The jackfruit tree also plays host to mustard plants adorned with cochineal beetles. These tiny insects add a touch of color to an already mesmerizing scene. As we journey through South East Asia, we witness Malay men gathering bread from these trees while black hooded orioles perch upon jackfruit stumps. Venturing further into Uganda's Kibale National Park reveals chimpanzees relishing in wild jackfruits. Their joyous feast reminds us of the rich biodiversity found within nature's pantry. From Java to Jamaica, this versatile fruit continues to captivate hearts worldwide. In 1930s Java, it grew abundantly under unknown creators' watchful eyes while Adolphe Duperly & Son immortalized Jamaican jackfruits in their artistry circa 1905. Whether it be for sustenance or artistic inspiration, the allure remains undeniable across continents and centuries. So let us celebrate this magnificent gift from nature that brings together cultures and nourishes both body and soul.
