Book Description
Brussels: imprimerie typographique veuve Monnom, 1903. Colour printed lithograph. 22 1/2 x 14 7/8 inches. A fine Palm tree print, in the tradition of Carl von Martius, from "Sertum palmarum Brasiliensium ou relation des palmiers nouveaux du Brésil." J. Barbosa Rodrigues, Brazilian botanist and traveller, collected widely in Brazil between 1868 and 1897. He was director of the Manaos botanical museum from 1883-1889, and finally director of the botanical garden of Rio de Janeiro from 1889 until his death in 1909. His drawings have a cool, modern feel that exhibit his love and fascination with the structure and form of these magnificent trees. Nissen: BBI 1660; Stafleu & Cowan: TL2 9358
