Johannis Gessneri tabulae phytographicae, analysin generum plantarum exhibentes
Johannis Gessneri tabulae phytographicae is a 1795 botanical plate book by Johannes Gessner and Christoph Salomon Schinz, published in Zurich by Johann Heinrich Füssli for students of plant classification. Its pages are grids of engraved plant studies, each cell showing a leaf, flower, fruit or seed head labelled for analysis by genus. A designer might borrow the dense modular grid layout and the precise botanical line drawings for pattern, label or packaging work.
