Supplementary Plates (Part 35)
The plates for these five illustrations were engraved between 1986 and 1989 by the two Master Banknote Engravers at the Bank of England Printing Works, Loughton. The original plates, engraved under Joseph Banks' direction by Daniel MacKenzie, Gabriel Smith, Gerald Sibelius and Thomas Scratchley, were among those selected for inclusion in Captain Cook's Florilegium (Royal College of Art, 1973) and were stolen during the course of that publication. Working by hand in the traditional manner, and using as masters the black proofs taken in the eighteenth century, the engravers have recreated the original plates.

This print is also illustrated as Plate (NS 02) on page 317 of Joseph Banks' Florilegium: Botanical Treasures from Cook's First Voyage, published by Thames & Hudson Ltd

Each engraving is identified by a blind embossed stamp on the recto, recording the publisher's and printer's chops (ie: their signatures), the copyright symbol and date. The initials of the individual printer, the plate number and the edition number are recorded in pencil. The plate-marks are virtually uniform in size: 18 x 12 inches (457 x 305 mm), and the paper is Somerset mould-made 300gsm, each sheet watermarked 'AHE' and produced specially for this edition by the Inveresk Paper Company. The sheet of paper on which the image is printed measures 28½ x 21 inches (724 x 556 mm), and each of the engravings is protected within a double-fold sheet of the same acid free paper which has been cut to form a window mount. Every print includes watercolour embellishments added by artists working directly from Banks' own notes.
