Caféier : Cofféa Quillou de deux ans en pleine fructification

Caféier : Cofféa Quillou de deux ans en pleine fructification
Anonymous, 1900
Hand-colored engraving, Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gallica)

Nineteenth-century botanical plates of Coffea arabica and related species follow the European convention set by Redouté and the Tournefort engravers: a primary specimen at scale, isolated details at margin, clean ground. They sell as institutional, scientific, and timeless because they were drawn to that standard.
