(Erstes Heft)
A German botanical plate series issued in 1787 by Johann Gottlieb Gleditsch and edited by Peter Haas, Benjamin Glassbach and the Hartmann firm, for naturalists and students of plants. Its pictures are hand-coloured copper-engraved botanical plates with a stem and leaves set on cream paper, each with small dissected details of flowers, seeds and stamens placed around the main specimen, offering a designer a model of precise, labelled scientific layout.
