Enthaltend 30 colorirte Blätter mit Abbildungen von Gift- und Kultur-Pflanzen
An 1840 German botanical plate book published by Schreiber & Schill, containing thirty hand-coloured sheets of poisonous and cultivated plants, apparently aimed at general readers and gardeners. The pictures show single stems set against plain paper, with leaves, flowers and roots drawn in careful naturalistic detail and tinted in soft greens, pinks, yellows and red. A designer might take the clean specimen layout and muted watercolour palette for botanical labels, seed packets or heritage-style print work.
