About the Item
Antique Tobacco Botanical Print, Nicotiana Tabacum, c.1831
Description:
This elegant botanical engraving depicts Nicotiana Tabacum, the tobacco plant, with flowering stems, leaves, and analytical details. Tobacco was one of the most influential cash crops in global trade, deeply intertwined with colonial economies and social history.
The plate comes from Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde and balances scientific clarity with visual grace. The soft pink flowers add delicacy to an otherwise powerful commercial subject.
Original hand coloring is subtle and refined, giving the plate excellent decorative appeal.
