About the Item
Antique Rubber Tree Botanical Print, Siphonia Elastica, c.1831
This botanical engraving illustrates Siphonia Elastica, the rubber tree, an early and important source of natural latex. Rubber became increasingly significant during the 19th century, laying the groundwork for industrial applications in manufacturing, transportation, and science.
Issued as part of Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, the plate documents the botanical origins of materials that would later drive industrial innovation. The composition focuses on structure and form rather than ornament, underscoring the utilitarian value of the plant.
Original hand coloring is subtle and restrained, reinforcing the serious and informative character of the image. This plate appeals particularly to collectors interested in industrial history, materials, and applied sciences.
