Caroli Clusii Atrebat. Rariorum aliquot stirpium per Hispanias obseruatarum historia, : libris duobus expressa
A 1576 botanical treatise by Carolus Clusius, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press, recording rare plants he observed in Spain for fellow botanists and naturalists. The pictures are plain black-and-white woodcut plant studies, each with a stem, leaves and roots drawn in fine hatched line on a blank page, a model for clear scientific botanical illustration and for linework that suits herbal or specimen-style design.
