About the Item

Antique Sago Palm Botanical Print, Sagus Farinifera, c.1831 Description: This original botanical engraving depicts the sago palm, Sagus Farinifera, including trunk, flower structures, and fruit, accompanied by a human figure for scale. Sago was a crucial starch source in Southeast Asia. Issued in Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, the plate documents a staple food plant central to regional economies rather than European consumption. Original hand coloring gives the palm strong sculptural presence. Condition report: Moderate toning with scattered light spotting. Framing tips: A warm cream mat and natural wood frame complement the tropical subject. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Jonathan Carl Zenker, Germany, 1831–1832
