Description: Presenting this exquisitely framed woodcut illustration print of Travellers’ Trees from Coppinger’s Cruise of the Alert – Four Years in Patagonian and Polynesian Waters (1878-82). Reproduced from a sketch by Dr. R. W. Coppinger, a Royal Navy staff surgeon, this piece captures a historic scene from the 19th-century Singapore Botanic Gardens. The majestic Ravenala madagascariensis palms, known for intriguing travelers and writers of the era, are beautifully depicted in this detailed engraving, made during Coppinger’s two-and-a-half-month stay in Singapore in 1881. Published by R. Worthington in New York in 1884, this rare engraving is a perfect addition for art collectors, history enthusiasts, or those seeking a touch of timeless botanical beauty.
