Description

original hand-colour engraving.

EXTREMELY RARE Botanical print from ‘Icones plantarum medico-oeconomico-technologicarum’, vol.1 tab. 62; Icones Plantarum Medico-Oeconomico-Technologicarum cum Earum Fructus ususque Descriptione (1800–1822), an 11-volume compilation of medicinal, culinary and decorative plant species consulted by pharmacologists during the early 1800s. The noted cartographic engraver, Ignaz Albrecht (Alberti), worked on the 1100 hand-coloured copperplate engravings on laid-watermarked paper and completed the work after the early death of Vietz who only completed the first 3 volumes. Ferdinand Bernhard Vietz (1772-1815), was an Austrian pharmacologist, a Doctor of the Healing Arts and Professor of Forensic Medicine at the University of Vienna.
