Botanical Art Notebook Set - Lemon, Chillis and Apples

Johann Wilhelm Weinmann was an eighteenth-century apothecary who set about producing a highly detailed catalogue of plants and their uses, with illustrations commissioned from some of the finest engravers of the time. The resulting Phytanthoza Iconographia is an immense work, featuring no less than 1,025 beautiful color plates of all manner of fruit and vegetables. Three of the exquisite plates are reproduced in this set of softback notebooks, which have been produced with high quality ruled paper and stitched spines. This set makes a wonderful gift for gardeners and connoisseurs of botanical illustration.
