About the Item
JOHANN WILHELM WEINMANN. (1683-1741)
Phytanthoza Iconographia….
Published by Raisbonae.
Regensburg, 1735-47.
Engraved by J.J. Haid, J.E. Ridinger, B. Seuter and G.D. Ehret.
Hand-colored mezzotint engravings.
1025 plates.
At $13.00 per volume, the four volumes of Weinmann’s Phytanthoza Iconographia, from the library of Don Antonio, may have seemed a bit expensive in 1824. However, the directors of the Library Company considered the materia medica, the most extensive compendium to that time, worth the money and acquired it for the Loganian Library. We applaud their wisdom.
Compiled under the supervision of Weinmann, a Ratisbon apothecary, this interesting and valuable 18th century florilegium contains 1,025 plates of plants, trees, fruits and vegetables. Various artists were employed in the production, including the distinguished German botanical draughtsman Georg Dionysius Ehret. The text in Latin and German was the work of Johann Georg Dieterichs, his son Ludwig Michael Dieterichs and Ambrose Karl Bieler.
The Phytanthoza Iconographia is remarkable not only for the beauty and accuracy of its illustrations, but also for its successful use of color printing. It is considered the premier work in mezzotint engravings. Most of the plates have solid areas in colored mezzotint; the watercolor details were added later by hand. The frontice piece and two portraits, printed in blue, are the work of the Augsburg mezzotinter Johann Jakob Haid who with his fellow citizens, Ridinger and Seuter did the engravings of the plants.
