This is a framed botanical print, identified as depicting Borassus flabellifer (Palmyra palm or Toddy palm), from Georg Eberhard Rumphius's "Herbarium Amboinense," Plate IV, Decad 10. The print features detailed illustrations of the palm's fan-shaped leaves and fruit-bearing branches, with the inscription "Lontarus Sylvestris seu lontar ulan. Rumphs. p. 56. T.n. Borussus flabellifer." It is presented with a white mat and an ornate black and gold frame. The paper exhibits an aged patina consistent with historical prints, and the engraving technique appears to be line engraving or etching with subtle color washes.
