Handcolored engraving by Joseph Jacob Plenck, from “Icones Plantarum Medicinalium”, published in Vienna, between 1788 and 1803.
Joseph Jakob Ritter Plenk or Plenck (1738–1807) was an Austrian physician and polymath. He is now known as a pioneer dermatologist.
This exceptionally rare, folio engraving features original hand-coloring on chain-linked paper. Icones Plantarum cataloged 700 medicinal botanical species and included both Latin and German text.
Very good overall condition.
