A 1550 Lyon herbal, Dioscorides' De medicinali materia translated by Joannes Ruellius and printed by Balthazar Arnollet, aimed at physicians and apothecaries. Its woodcuts show whole plants with roots, stems, leaves and flower heads drawn in fine parallel line, a plain botanical vocabulary a designer could adapt for scientific or vintage-botanical motifs.
