Various allegorical figures in the garden of George Clifford, Jan Wandelaar, 1738 Canvas Print
Allegorical title page with in the middle the 'earthmother' Cybele, seated on a lion and a lioness, with the keys to the garden in her hand. At her feet a pot with Cliffortia ilicifolia and a map of the garden of the Hartekamp. On the left, an African woman offers her an Aloe from Africa, a woman with a turban brings her a plant of the Coffea arabica from Asia and a figure with feather headdress offers Hernandia from America. On a pedestal showing the title in Latin, a bust of George Clifford(?). On the right a banana plant in bloom, and Apollo, who holds a torch in his left hand and lifts diana's veil with his right hand. With his feet he tramples the dragon of falsehood, a reference to the counterfeit Hydra in Hamburg that Linnaeus had exposed as deception on his journey to Holland. Right in the foreground two putti with a thermometer and a spade.
