Almonds were an important Mediterranean crop, valued for culinary use, oil production, and trade across Europe and the Near East. The plate forms part of Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde, which documented plants central to commerce and daily life. The almond’s inclusion reflects its role as both a staple food and a refined ingredient in European cuisine. Original hand coloring enhances the plate with gentle greens and soft natural tones, creating a warm and inviting image. This engraving is especially suitable for kitchens, dining rooms, and interiors with a Mediterranean or classical theme. Condition report: Moderate toning with light surface marks typical of early 19th-century prints. Overall well preserved. Framing tips: A warm cream mat paired with a light or medium wood frame reinforces the domestic and decorative character of the subject. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Jonathan Carl Zenker, Germany, 1831–1832 See less
