Set of four original copper plated mezzo tint botanical engravings printed in color and finished by hand. Published 1734 - … more Set of four original copper plated mezzo tint botanical engravings printed in color and finished by hand. Published 1734 - 1745 in Regensburg, Germany the great botanical work Phytanthoza Iconographia. This was the first time, that this technique of color-printing was used successfully on the European continent in a botanical series. Among the artists in this enormous botanical series were Ehret, Haid, and Seutter from Augsburg working. On all plates, we find their individual initials in the lower right corner, other than the initial engraving done by Ehret. All four have been re-done in gilt and wood frames, estimated in approximately the 1960s. This set came from a well to do estate near East 6th Ave & Colorado Blvd. Was said to have been carried over from Germany by their great great grandfather, the first of the family to immigrate and set foot upon American soil.

Harvard -

Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683 - 1741) was born in Gardelegen, Germany on March 13, 1683. He settled in Regensburg in 1710 as a pharmacist's assistant and in 1712 was able to purchase his own apothecary shop. He flourished in his business affairs and this success allowed him to indulge in his great love for botany. He established a botanical garden in Regensburg published a Catalogus Alphabetico ordine exhibens Pharmaca in 1723. In 1737-1745 Weinmann published Phytanthoza iconographia. His great work comprised eight folios with 1025 hand-colored engravings of several thousand plants. Among the artists employed to work on Phytanthoza was Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770), and Johann Jakob Haid (1704-1767). less
