Naturalis historiae opus novum : in quo tractatur de natura et viribus arborum ... item, gemmarum, metallorum, succorumque ... de vera cognitione ... simplicium medicamentorum ...
A 1551 natural history of plants, minerals and simple medicines by the German physician Adam Lonitzer, printed in Frankfurt by Christian Egenolff for physicians and apothecaries. Its woodcuts show single upright plants with roots, stems and flowers isolated against blank paper, drawn with dense, wiry hatching that a designer could use for botanical line work or vintage herbal layouts.
