Tomo quarto.
Tomo quarto is an Italian natural history volume of engraved plates of tree and plant botany, the record giving no author, date or place. The plates are numbered and captioned in Italian with labelled leaf and branch studies of fig, oak, elm and similar trees, drawn in fine hatched line on a pale ground, offering a designer clear botanical leaf shapes and vein structures to adapt for pattern, border or scientific print work.
