Letter 29 of January 12, 1680 Figure 14 | Levende Dierkens

A piece of black Mauritius ebony wood; three sorts of large vertical vessels.

Een stuckie swart Mauritius ebben hout; drie sorten groote opgaende vaaten.

Drawn through a magnifying glass which magnifies many times more than those through which the other sorts of wood have been drawn, because one cannot discern the vessels by ordinary magnification.
