Johann Wilhelm Weinmann was an apothecary who established a botanic
garden in Regensburg and set about producing a highly detailed
catalogue of plants and their uses, with illustrations commissioned
from some of the finest engravers of the time. The resulting
Phytanthoza Iconographia is an immense work, contained within
several volumes published between 1737 and 1745. It features no
fewer than 1,025 beautiful colour plates – including early
examples of colour mezzotint – of all manner of fruit and
vegetables. Three of the exquisite plates are reproduced in this
lovely set of A5 softback notebooks: the perfect gift for gardeners
and connoisseurs of botanical illustration.
