Antique Liquorice Botanical Print, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Echinata, c.1831 Description: This detailed botanical engraving illustrates two liquorice species, Glycyrrhiza glabra and Glycyrrhiza echinata, including foliage, flowers, and root structures. Liquorice was widely used in medicine, confectionery, and brewing. Issued in Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, the plate reflects the importance of medicinal roots within early commercial botany. The comparative composition adds both scientific and decorative interest. Original hand coloring is subtle and harmonious, lending clarity to the fine botanical detail. Condition report: Moderate toning with light foxing, typical for the series. Framing tips: A neutral linen mat with a medium-toned wood frame suits the analytical layout. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Jonathan Carl Zenker, Germany, 1831–1832
