About the Item
Antique Cardamom Botanical Print, Elettaria
Amomum Species, c.1831
Description:
This complex botanical engraving illustrates two cardamom species, including Elettaria cardamomum and Amomum cardamomum, with rhizomes, flowers, seed pods, and sectional details. Cardamom was one of the most valuable spices in global trade, prized for its aroma and medicinal properties.
Published in Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, the plate exemplifies the publication’s strength in combining scientific clarity with visual richness. The composition is dynamic and highly decorative, making it one of the standout spice plates in the series.
Original hand coloring is rich yet controlled, particularly in the green stems and warm seed pods, giving the plate strong wall presence.
Condition report:

Framing tips:
