About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Otophora Alata'. Large lithograph of the tepisanthes alata tree. The edible fruit is gathered from the wild for local use. The tree is also occasionally cultivated for its fruit in Indonesia. This print originates from 'Fleurs, fruits et feuillages choisis de la flore et de la pomone de l' Ile de Java peints d'après nature' by Berthe Hoola Van Nooten.
