About Flora and Fauna

The spices brought the Dutch to the Indies, and the plants and animals of the islands fascinated Europe. De Bry's engravings of 1598 to 1601 show the pepper, clove and cinnamon the first voyages brought home; Valentijn's plates of 1726 show the fish and birds of Ambon.

In the 19th century the colony produced its own natural history. Berthe Hoola van Nooten painted the fruits and flowers of Java in Batavia, the sugar experiment stations published color plates of the cane varieties, and the Midden-Sumatra expedition of 1877 to 1879 recorded the insects, birds and crabs of the interior.
