Fruitbomen en -struiken uit Oost-Indië 1596

Baptista van Doetechum's *Fruitbomen en -struiken uit Oost-Indië* (1596) is a detailed woodcut depicting various fruit trees and plants from the East Indies. The artwork showcases five distinct species, each labeled with its Dutch name: *Mangas*, *Capus*, *Jambos*, *Iaquas*, and *Anmanas*. The trees are depicted in a landscape setting, with a distant hilly horizon. The composition is balanced, with the trees taking center stage and the landscape providing a sense of depth. This woodcut serves as a valuable historical document, showcasing the botanical knowledge and artistic skill of the era. The visual representation of these exotic fruits would have been of interest to both botanists and the general public in the 16th century.
