Weinmann's ‘Phytanthoza Iconographia’

A delightful selection of botanical prints from Weinmann’s ‘Phytanthoza Iconographia’, the first botanical book with colour-printed mezzotints! There are over 4000 plants depicted on 1025 plates which were engraved by Georg Dionysus Ehret (1708-1770), Bartholomäus Seuter (1678-1754), Johann Ridinger (1698-1767) and Johann Jakob Haid (1704-1767). Some of the plates are marked in the lower right corner with an “S” or an “H,” probably referring to the engravers Seuter or Haid. – published by H. Lentz and H.G. Neubauer, et al. Regensburg, 1735-45. – Dunthorpe 327, Nissen 2126.
