A 1696 Dutch botanical treatise by Abraham Munting, published in Leiden and Utrecht, describing trees, shrubs, herbs and flowers with their fruits, seeds and roots for a general readership of gardeners and physicians. The four plates show tall, single-stem plants with clustered flower heads and large serrated or lobed leaves, drawn in fine parallel hatching on a pale ground, with small ground-level details and a labelled scroll at the base; a designer could draw on their dense linework and botanical stylisation for natural-history motifs.
