Vergiftige planten 1875 - 1903

"Vergiftige Planten" is a botanical illustration by Jan de Haan, created between 1875 and 1903. The image depicts a collection of poisonous plants, each meticulously rendered in detail. The piece is a chromolithograph, a printing process that uses multiple colored inks to achieve vibrant, realistic colors. The detailed rendering and clear labeling of the plants suggests that the print was likely intended as an educational tool, perhaps for children or those studying botany. The title, "Vergiftige Planten," translates to "Poisonous Plants" in English. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and the power of botanical illustration to educate and inform.
