Antique Bixa Botanical Print, Bixa Orellana (Annatto), c.1831
Description:
This vibrant botanical engraving illustrates Bixa Orellana, the annatto plant, valued for its seeds which produce a red-orange dye widely used in textiles, cosmetics, and food coloring.
Published in Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, the plate documents a plant of both artistic and industrial relevance. The composition includes flowers, seed pods, and analytical sections, offering a complete view of the plant’s utility.
Original hand coloring is particularly attractive here, with soft pink blossoms and warm-toned seed pods providing visual impact.
Condition report:
Moderate toning and light surface marks. Overall very attractive.
Framing tips:
An ivory or light grey mat with a dark wood frame highlights the color contrast.
