This is a vintage botanical illustration, likely from a scientific text. It features two detailed diagrams of a corn or maize plant, labeled with letters and numbers. **Fig. 1:** Shows a cross-section of a corn cob with its husks partially peeled back. The cob is elongated and cylindrical, with rows of kernels visible. The husks are long, narrow, and leaf-like, radiating outwards from the cob. The illustration is rendered in shades of green, brown, and yellow, with fine lines and shading to create a sense of depth and texture. Several labels (a, b, c, d, e, f) point to different parts of the corn cob and husks. **Fig. 2:** Presents a longitudinal section of a corn cob, showing the kernels and the central core. The kernels are arranged in rows along the cob. The illustration also depicts the base of the corn plant, with roots and a seed. Labels (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h) identify various parts of the plant. Both diagrams are enclosed within circular borders, and the entire illustration is drawn with precise lines and attention to detail. The style is characteristic of scientific illustrations from the 18th or 19th century. The text at the top reads 'TAB. XLI.' and at the bottom are the names of the artist and engraver.
