Caspari Bavhini ... theatri botanici in qvo plantæ svpra sexcentæ ab ipso primum descriptæ cum plurimis figuris proponuntur
A botanical treatise by Caspar Bauhin (1560-1624), printed in Basel in 1671 for naturalists and physicians, cataloguing over six hundred plants with woodcut figures. The pictures are sepia woodcuts of single whole plants with roots, stems, leaves and flower heads set against a plain page, drawn with fine hatching that a designer could use for organic linework and vintage natural-history patterns.
