B. Mourik Excudit - De Aloë Afericana Major te zien buiten de Stat Arnhem in de Maand September 1790. In de Mercurius October Eerste Stuk Pag. 128. - [No pl.] - Mercurius - 1790 - Copper engraving - 16,5 x 21 cm.
Condition: Good - with rust / cracks at the bottom.
Print taken from the Maandelykse Nederlandsche Mercurius of October 1790: "De bloeiende aloë op 'Huyze Rozendael (...) heeft veele lieden derwaards heen gelokt'. And : 'ten dienste der geenen wier gelegenheid niet toestaat in die bezichtiging te kunnen deelen hebben wy (...) de nevensgaande naauwkeurige afbeelding daarvan laaten vervaardigen'.
¶ Below the plate is the name B. Mourik. This concerns Bernardus Mourik and this name leads to a plate from 1757, with exactly the same image and text, except that it states 'Leiden' and the year '1757'. The same Bernardus is the publisher of the Mercurius who apparently reused the old plate.
