Description
Superb c.18th botanical from Johann Weinmann’s, Phytanthoza Iconographia published in Amsterdam by Zacharias Romberg between 1736-1748. The plates were printed in colour using the new colour mezzotint process and then hand coloured, a process invented by the engraver Bartholomew Seuter. ‘Many plates are of particular interest on account of the colour printing, especially the plates of Aloes and Cactus depicted in pots of different designs.’ (Dunthorne)
