Details
Description
Johann Weinmann (German, 1683–1741) a Regensburg apothecary and botanist who organized the publication of Phytanthoza Iconographia.
- Sold as a set of 4.
- Double-page mezzotint engravings, printed in color and finished by hand.
- The mezzotint process used here was invented by Johann Teyler in the Netherlands around 1688. Practiced by Bartholomaus Seuter (1678–1754) and Johann Elias Ridinger (1698–1767), it was really a combination of etching and mezzotint, which made delicate lines and a very fine grain possible.
- The addition of hand-tinting brought about unusual and subtle effects.
- This huge florilegum was not only very beautiful but also influenced the publication of similar works worldwide.
- Framed and glazed.
