      Inscription (transcribed from verso): un Regime ou Grape de Bananes vertes, avec sa fleur, et une Banane mure coupée.

Grand. naturelle. fait au Cap par Rabié ingenieur ord[re] du Roy. 1768. / No. 6. / un régime ou grappe de Bananes vertes avec sa fleur, aux deux tiers de grandeur naturelle 1768. une Banane mûre, coupée. ce fruit se mange, quand il est encore vert, cuit sous la cendre, ou avec de la viande salée; mûr, il se mange cru, ou bouilli avec de la viande salée, sur le gril, ou au four, et encore mieux coupé par tranches, et frit et saupoudré de sucre. La Banane est la principale nourriture des negres, et même des propriétaires. quand le Bananier a donné son régime ou grappe de bananes, on le coupe au pied, il pousse trois ou quatre rejetons qui, l’année suivante, portent chacun un régime. comme le Bananier n’a pas de saison fixe pour porter son fruit, on a des bananes pendant toute l’année. quand on ne coupe pas le bananier, il pourrit sur pied, ce n’est point un abre arbre, mais une espece de roseau à tige fibreuse et trés aqueuse. Ses feuilles ont de 3 à 4 pieds de long, sur un pied de large, on fait une espece de cordage de peu de solidité avec les fibres de sa tige, les feuilles servent à couvrir les cases, mais cette couverture est de peu de durée. Le Bananier perit au bout de l’an après avoir son fruit, il a environ 7 à 8 pieds de haut. / une Branche de cerisier avec sa feuille et son fruit – voir le no. 38. 1768.

      General note

      Inscription (from verso; translation): A hand or bunch of green bananas, with its flower, and a ripe banana cut. When fully ripe, this fruit is very sweet, and when it is baked in the oven it tastes a bit like cooked pear, it is eaten green with salted meat, etc., it contributes greatly to the food of the negroes; 2/3 natural size / a branch of a cherry tree with its leaf and its fruit, which is sour, and has no stone, but seeds. It is very good in jams. Natural size. Made at Cap-Haïtien by Rabié, ingénieur ordre du Roy. 1768. / No. 6. / a hand or bunch of green bananas with its flower, 2/3 natural size 1768. A ripe banana, cut. This fruit is eaten, when it is still green, cooked in ash, or with salted meat; ripe, it is eaten raw, or boiled with salted meat, on the grill, or in the oven, and even better cut in slices, fried, and sprinkled with sugar. The banana is the main food source of the negroes, and even the owners. When the banana plant has produced its hand or bunch of bananas, it is cut at the base, it grows 3 or 4 offshoots, which, the following year, each bear a hand. As the banana plant has no fixed season for bearing fruit, we have bananas all year. When the banana plant is not cut, it rots on the stalk, it is not a tree, but a type of reed with a fibrous and very watery stem. Its leaves are 3-4 feet long, by 1 foot wide, a type of weak rope is made with the fibres of the stem, the leaves serve to cover the huts, but this cover is short-lived. The banana tree dies at the end of the year after bearing its fruit, it is approximately 7-8 feet tall. / A branch of a cherry tree with its leaf and its fruit – see no. 38. 1768.
