Johann Weinmann Botanical Prints 1737

We are very pleased to present a wonderful selection of prints from Johann Weinmann’s Phytanthoza Iconographia, 1737-1745. These are rare and beautiful prints representing some of the most beautiful in this work of over 1,000 hand colored engravings. Johann Weinmann directed a famous pharmacy in Regensburg. His Phytanthoza Iconographia was a huge work in eight folio volumes which provided one of the most comprehensive references of the eighteenth century.  The engraver, J.J. Haid printed many of the illustrations utilizing a mezzotint technique used by the Englishman, Kirkall.  Each print measures approximately 9 1/2 inches wide by 15 inches long on a thick, high quality chain-lined, hand-made paper, watermarked & light creamy in color.
