The plant is shown with flowers, bolls, seeds, and structural details. The plate originates from Zenker’s Merkantilische Waarenkunde and represents one of the most economically significant plants of the Industrial Age. Cotton was central to global manufacturing and colonial trade networks. Original hand coloring is restrained and elegant, giving the plate a clean, almost modern aesthetic. Condition report: Moderate age-related toning with some light spotting, especially in the background. Framing tips: A neutral linen mat and a simple wood frame suit the understated strength of the image. Technique: Copper engraving with original hand coloring Maker: Jonathan Carl Zenker, Germany, 1831–1832 See less
