Superbly decorative prints from a seventeenth century herbal. Basil Besler worked as a pharmacist in Nuremberg (Nürnberg) in the South of Germany. On request of the Archbishop Konrad von Gemmingen, he created the famous book "Hortus Eystettensis" in 1613 a botanical book. Considered to be the greatest botanical book ever produced.
Johann Wilhelm Weinmann was an apothecary from the German city of Regensburg. He compiled an impressive collection of botanical illustrations, for which he commissioned several artists, including Georg Dionysius Ehret, N. Asamin, Johann Ambrosius Beurer, Christiaan Jakob Trew and Johannes Burman. They formed the basis of his life's work, the Phytanthoza Iconographia. The work appeared in half-yearly installments published between 1735 and 1745. The result is a rarely found combination of the traditional herbal book and the flower book that became popular in the baroque period.
