About This Item
Regensburg, Germany: Zacharias Romberg, 1745. 12 7/8" by 8 1/2 inches on a a sheet measuring 15 3/4" X 9 3/8". Original hand-colored engraving with mezzotint on hand-made laid paper. From PHYTANTHOZA ICONOGRAPHIA, edited by the pharmacist and botanist Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683-1741), published 1737-1745 and referenced on page 151 of Sitwell's GREAT FLOWER BOOKS. More than half of the plates were drawn by Georg Dionysius Ehret, perhaps the most notable botanical illustrator of the 18th century; they were engraved by Bartholomew Seuter, Johann Elias Ridinger, and Johann Jakob Haid. This engraving, like the other plates in this monumental and scarce work, is characterized by a more realistic depiction than was found in earlier herbals. The print is clean and bright, with a few spots of foxing in the image's background as well as several faint smudges limited to the blank margins.. First Edition. Single Sheet. Very Good+. Illus. by Georg Dionysius Ehret. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Fine Art Print.
