Marius, Georg · 1586 · 3 pictures

A 1586 German gardening and farming handbook by Georg Marius, published for German-speaking households and estate managers, covering field cultivation, housekeeping and overwintering plants. Its pictures are coarse woodcuts: a title page with a framed portrait of the author surrounded by Latin inscriptions and ornament, and a small diagram of a sunken bed or trench that a designer could borrow for dense, hand-cut framing and rustic line texture.
