Cause - Mulberry, Hazelnut
This exquisite botanical engraving is from Hendrick Cause’s work De Koninglycke Hovenier aanwyzende de Middelen om Boomen, Bloemen en Kruyden te Zaayen, planten, aen queeken en voort teelen. The work was published in Amsterdam by Marcus Doorninck in 1676.
Cause’s work is considered one of the finest Dutch horticultural books from the Golden Age. The plates were printed on very high quality chain-linked, watermarked paper. Each engraving was intricately created displaying beautiful contrast between light and dark. Though often printed with images to each side, this is printed with only images to one side making a cleaner presentation of the plate / image.
Paper Size: ~ 8" by 12 1/4"
The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
