Source The original image is available from the website of the Natural History Museum, London, here. This is a slightly cropped version that excludes a ruler that was placed along the base during imaging to indicate the actual size of the image.
Author Gabriel Smith is the attributed artist, but it is likely that the work was heavily based on a partially coloured drawing by Sydney Parkinson, Sir Joseph Banks' botanical artist.
