Kleines Distillierbuch is a small early-sixteenth-century German herbal and distillation manual by Hieronymus Brunschwig, printed in Strassburg in 1500 by Johann Grüninger for apothecaries and medical practitioners. Its pictures are crude woodcut plants, each framed in a ruled box with a German caption beneath, some with hand-applied green and yellow colour; a designer might draw on their stylised, botanical simplicity and the hand-coloured woodcut look.
