Abbildungen Sämmtlicher Arzneigewachse Deutschlands was published in Leipzig during the years 1832-34 by Dr. Eduard Winkler (1799-1862), a German botanist, scholar and teacher.
It is a beautiful work encompassing a comprehensive study of flora with pharmaceutical properties, particularly plants found in Germany. It represented a self study for students of botany, medicine and pharmacy as well as homeopathic practitioners. It was published over the period in association with the “Magazine fur Industrie and Literatur.”
The prints are on light creamy, wove J Whatman paper with watermarks on a number of prints. They are strong impressions, with beautiful, original hand-coloring and plate marks showing well on three sides with some trimmed to the platemark on the top of the print which does not detract from the quality of the image and would easily frame out. Each print measures 7 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches.
