Turning a new leaf! 'Fleurs, fruits et feuillages choisis de l'île de Java' was first produced in 1862 by Dutch botanical artist Berthe Hoola van Nooten. It features 40 coloured plates of exotic fruit, flowers and foliage from the island of Java in Indonesia. Inside you'll find beautiful illustrations of rambutans, durian, mangosteens and more! The plates are extraordinarily vivid and were created through chromolithography – a new technique at the time for printing multicoloured illustrations.

Very little is known about the men and boys who are pictured, which is why we need your help to complete the records. See the portraits on display in our new exhibition Dunera: Stories of Internment.
