Antique print titled 'Clove Tree'.
Copper engraving of a clove tree. This print originates from 'Voyages and Travels to the East-Indies' by J. Nieuhof.
Artists and engravers: Johan / Jan / Johannes Nieuhof / Nieuhoff / Neuhof (1618-1672) was a Dutch traveler who wrote about his journeys to Brazil, China and India. The most famous of these was a trip of 2,400 km from Canton to Peking in 1655-1657, which enabled him to become an authoritative Western writer on China.
