Yuca, seu Mandioca Arbustum, et Radix; Cassava
Uncolored engraving. Image measures 10.25" x 6.75", sheet measures 13.75" x 9.5". In very good condition.
Beautiful engraving of the cassava plant. A figure at right is harvesting the edible tubers, some of which are being eaten by a dog shown at bottom left. What appears to be a giant cassava tuber resting on the ground is shown behind the tree. Potentially by Giovanni Petroschi (1715-1766), a Jesuit Italian engraver, and cartographer based in Rome, but the publication is not known.
