Note Philippines Shrub Sir Hans Sloane Southeast Asia Philippine Islands
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print is an original note from the seminal work "Descriptiones Fruticum et Arborum Luzonis" by the renowned botanist Georg Joseph Kamel. The volume, which is housed in the esteemed library of Sir Hans Sloane, provides a meticulous and detailed record of the plants and trees of Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, situated in Southeast Asia. The note, penned by Kamel himself, offers a fascinating insight into his observations and discoveries during his explorations in the Philippines, which took place between 1658 and 1662. The illustration accompanying the note depicts a shrub or small tree native to the region, its intricate details captured in Kamel's expert hand. Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), an Anglo-Irish physician, naturalist, and collector, amassed an extensive collection of natural history specimens, art, and manuscripts during his travels and acquisitions. His collection, which now forms the basis of the British Museum, is a testament to his insatiable curiosity and passion for the natural world. This note and illustration from "Descriptiones Fruticum et Arborum Luzonis" offer a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Philippines and the groundbreaking work of Georg Joseph Kamel, a pioneering figure in the field of tropical botany.
