"Sookong (Bread Fruit) and Artocarpus Incisa (Lin)" is a botanical illustration from the collection 'Drawings of Plants from Malacca', created circa 1805-1818 by an anonymous artist. This artwork is part of a larger corpus of illustrations that depict the diverse flora of Malacca, a region in Malaysia known for its rich botanical diversity. The drawing is significant for its historical and scientific value, providing insight into the botanical knowledge and artistic conventions of the early 19th century.

The illustration captures the morphological details of the breadfruit tree, scientifically known as Artocarpus incisa (Linn.), which is a species of flowering tree in the mulberry and jackfruit family, Moraceae. The breadfruit is native to the Malay Peninsula and the surrounding islands and has been a staple food source in the Pacific Islands. The drawing likely served both an educational purpose, for those interested in the botany of the region, and as a record for colonial powers interested in the economic potential of the region's plants.

The 'Drawings of Plants from Malacca' collection is an important historical record, as it provides a visual documentation of the plants that were present during a time when botanical exploration was closely linked with colonial expansion. The anonymous nature of the artist behind "Sookong (Bread Fruit) and Artocarpus Incisa (Lin)" adds an element of mystery to the work, and the collection as a whole is a testament to the often overlooked contributions of local and indigenous knowledge in the cataloging of biodiversity.

In the context of art history, the illustration is an example of the detailed and precise work that characterizes botanical illustration, a genre that requires a high level of skill to accurately represent the subject while also producing a visually pleasing image. The illustration's historical context and aesthetic qualities make it a valuable piece for scholars interested in the intersection of art, science, and history.
