Historical context

Forest and Kim Starr produced this hand-colored engraving in 2009. The piece is held by Wikimedia Commons (institutional source) and is in the public domain under CC BY 3.0; we sourced the file from the institution’s open-access program and prepared it for archival printing.

On the category. 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.

The master file is 2736 × 3648 pixels. At 300 DPI it prints clean at approximately 12 inches on the long edge before any visible loss; below that scale all three included print sizes hold cleanly.
