About this sheet
This antique print, titled "Guanabanus Folio Ficulneo," illustrates the Soursop, or Annona muricata, a fruit native to tropical regions of the Americas, particularly valued for its sweet and custard-like pulp.
The print is part of Abraham Munting's 1696 botanical work, which showcases plants in imaginative landscapes, blending scientific accuracy with artistic creativity.
Abraham Munting (1626–1683) was a Dutch botanist and professor at the University of Groningen. His posthumously published work is renowned for its innovative and artistic plant illustrations.
