We are pleased to offer a selection of original hand-colored copper engravings from the Dutch edition of Icones Plantarum Medicinalium by J. Zorn, published in Amersterdam 1796. This is an extremely rare work, in excellent condition, illustrating a wide variety of botanicals such as iris, water lily, violet, strawberry, herbs, spices & many more. The coloring is brilliant, much more vivid & fresh than is commonly found in this very antique work.

The prints are on a heavy, chain-lined paper with some bearing watermarks and all with strong plate marks. Each print measures approximately 5 inches wide by 8 ½ inches long, with no foxing and absolutely no text offset. There is no descriptive text, but a copy of the tile page will accompany each print. This work is about 220 years old. Please inspect the images carefully as they are quite accurate.
