"Lijst van dieren en planten in het elfde ensemble" is a page from a botanical journal created by Joseph van Huerne between 1809 and 1814. The work is a simple grid-like layout with numbered lines down the left side, and columns headed by "Tafel," "Tabula," and "Table." The page contains Dutch, Latin, and French headers and is written in a delicate hand. The journal page is an example of the practice of scientific illustration, where the detailed observation and description of nature are paramount, and the layout reflects the systematic categorization favored by early naturalists. The handwriting and style of the page make the artwork valuable for its historical and cultural significance as well as its scientific content.
