Causé, Hendrik, 1648-1699 · 1676 · t'Amsterdam : By Marcus Doornick [sic] ... · 29 pictures

A horticultural treatise printed in Amsterdam in 1676 by Hendrik Causé, a gardener writing for other gardeners on sowing, planting and grafting trees, flowers and herbs. Its copperplate engravings are precise botanical studies of citrus fruit, each showing a branch with leaves and blossoms, a whole fruit, and a cut section in clean outline, which a designer could use as reference for botanical line drawing and fruit still lifes.
