A Magnificent Monument to the Amsterdam Physic 
Garden, of which Jan Commelin was director, when 
it was undergoing substantial enlargement, primarily 
as a result of plant introduction from the Dutch East 
Indies, West Indies and South Africa.

The plates are engraved from paintings by Johann 
and Maria Moninckx. The work was brought out 
posthumously by his nephew Caspar and many 
of the exotic plants are displayed here for the first 
time.
