This 18th century attractive hand-colored mezzotint engraving is from “Phytanthoza Iconographia,” circa 1734. Good antique condition with slight wear around the edges and some staining commensurate with age.
Johann Wilhelm Weinmann employed the youthful Georg Dionysius Ehret as illustrator, who used a newly developed printing process involving mezzotint, which allowed greater detail and shading, and was finished by hand-colouring. Seuter and Ridinger turned out the first volumes, while Johann Jakob Haid managed the later volumes. Because Phytanthoza Iconographia was to become Ehret's first published work, he set about the project with great enthusiasm. Phytanthoza iconographia is highly regarded for the quality of its colour plates, and the accuracy of its images compared with previous herbals. Weinmann was greatly respected for his writings on medicinal plants and herbs, and Phytanthoza iconographia is recognised as the first important botanical work to use colour engraved prints.
