Bauhin, Johann, 1541-1613 · 1598 · Montisbeligardi : [s.n.] · 257 pictures

A 1598 Latin treatise by Johann Bauhin (1541-1613), printed at Montbéliard, describing the Bollensis spring and bath in Württemberg and written for the duchy's subjects and visitors seeking its mineral-water cures. Its woodcut pictures show fruit-like forms, drawn with dense parallel hatching and cross-hatching over a warm tan paper ground. A designer could take from them the hand-cut line rhythm of early modern botanical-style woodcuts, where contour lines follow the curve of a rounded form.
