This is a vintage botanical illustration featuring a squirrel interacting with a plant. The plant has a rosette of long, pointed, green leaves, resembling a type of agave or yucca. A tall, slender stem rises from the center of the rosette, topped with a cluster of small, oval, yellow-green fruits or seed pods. A squirrel is depicted seemingly 'flying' or gliding around the stem. It's positioned horizontally, with its front paws reaching towards the top of the stem and its hind legs and bushy tail extending outwards. The squirrel is rendered in a detailed, slightly textured style, with shading to suggest form. The illustration is done in a style reminiscent of early botanical illustrations, with a focus on accurate depiction of the plant's features. The background is a pale cream color, and there are handwritten labels at the bottom of the image, likely identifying the plant species. The image has a number 'T77' at the top left corner.
