This print captures the sharp needles and distinctive blue-black berries of the juniper, the essential botanical ingredient for gin and a plant rich in history.

The 19th century was the peak era for botanical publications, balancing scientific necessity with aesthetic beauty. The illustration of Juniperus Communis reflects this tradition, serving as both a decorative piece and a meticulous record.

• Essential Aromatic: The illustration typically focuses on the plant's unique structure: the short, sharp, evergreen needles arranged in whorls, and the small, blue-black, waxy juniper "berries" (which are actually highly modified cones). It documents the plant at the source of the flavor that defines gin and has been used medicinally for centuries.

• Botanical Detail: The print would have been produced using detailed engraving or lithography, often finished with delicate hand-coloring to distinguish the different parts. The composition is clean and formal, allowing the viewer to appreciate the structure of the shrub, which often grows in harsh, rocky environments.

• A Taste of History: This print is a testament to the Victorian-era fascination with categorizing and understanding all aspects of the natural world, linking the beauty of the illustration to the history of botany and global trade.

This print is an essential acquisition for collectors of Botanical Art, Antique Natural History, and anyone interested in Herbalism and Culinary History.
