Herbarium diluvianum collectum
Herbarium diluvianum collectum is a 1709 Zurich book of engraved plates of fossil plants, compiled by Johann Jacob Scheuchzer and printed by David Gessner for naturalists and collectors of the period. Its plates show fossil leaves, fern fronds and stems pressed into rock, drawn in fine parallel hatching and fine contour lines, with labels and numbered keys beneath each plate that a designer could borrow for botanical or natural-history layouts.
