Condizione: Very Good. An original hand-colored botanical plate extracted from a volume of the botanical masterwork PHYTANTHOZA ICONOGRAPHIA by Johann W. Weinmann (1683-1741), a German apothecary and botanist. The PHYTANTHOZA ICONOGRAPHIA was originally published in 8 volumes across 1735-1745 and contained 1,000 hand-colored plates. Offered here is plate no. 586, depicting four species of hyacinths --- Hyacinthus Orientalis flore atro purpureo, Hyacinthus Orientalis flore purpureo pleno, Hyacinthus Orientalis polyanthos, and Hyacinthus spicatus stellatus floribus incarnatis caule et folio orchidis. The plate is matted and framed for display (the frame is modern), with total dimensions approximately 26.5" x 21". The plate itself is approximately 16" x 10.75". In the lower right-hand corner of the plate is an "H," indicating that it was done by the engraver Johann Jakob Haid. Condition is VERY GOOD. The plate itself is speckled with numerous small, circular brown spots, but has no visible chips or tears. The colors are still vivid, without evidence of sunfading. The frame itself is in excellent shape (no cracks or chips in the glass, only mild chips and abrasions to the painted wood frame; burgundy-red cloth matting unstained; wire hanger still intact and suitable for use). An attractive display piece as well as a fascinating bibliographic artifact from the 18th century.…
