Plenck, Joseph Jacob von, Geistinger'sche Buchhandlung [Hrsg.], Rudolph Gräffer & Comp. [Hrsg.], Camesinaische Buchhandlung [Hrsg.], Degen, Joseph Vinzenz [Bearb.], Joseph [Bearb.], Blumauer, Alois [Bearb.] · 1807 · 15 pictures

This is a plate-based botanical work of 1807 by Joseph Jacob von Plenck, issued by Vienna and Hamburg publishers, presenting individually labelled hand-coloured plants for botanists and students of natural history. Its plates show branches, leaves and fruiting stems drawn in fine outline with soft green and red washes, set on plain cream paper with Latin and German captions. A designer might take the precise botanical line work, the clear captioned layout and the muted natural palette for organic pattern or vintage science graphics.
