A 1571 Venetian herbal compiled by the Sienese physician Pietro Andrea Mattioli with Francesco Calzolari, printed for botany students who gathered and studied medicinal plants. Its pictures are crisp black woodcut engravings of single plants shown whole, roots to flowering tips, on plain paper, useful to a designer for botanical line drawing and vintage natural-history layouts.
