Nutmeg — Antique Botanical Print

Nutmeg · Myristica fragrans

A restored antique botanical plate, captioned with its history:

Nutmeg was once so precious the Dutch traded Manhattan to keep its source island — one seed yielding two spices.

Hand-coloured plate of nutmeg: a yellow fruit split to show the seed wrapped in scarlet lacy mace.
