Vintage Botanical Illustration of Onions - Historical Culinary Art #3894476 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts two mature onions resting on a textured surface, rendered with precise cross-hatching to emphasize the concentric papery layers and subtle curvature of their bulbs. Fine lines capture the fibrous root bases and the tapering necks, evoking the craftsmanship of 19th-century botanical illustration. The signature “Mettler” in the lower center suggests attribution to a known illustrator of agricultural or culinary subjects.
