Abraham Munting, Naauwkeurige Beschryving Der Aardewassen
Fine copper engravings with later hand colouring.
Florilegiums (Botanical works) of this period were produced in the main for scientific studies and research and usually illustrated just the plant itself. What makes Muntings work stand apart is the fashion in which he displayed his speciments (usually) floating above a landscape or village scene.
Not satisfied with that he had the name of the plant within a floating banner.
