WEINMANN'S ICONOGRAPHIA
Prints from Johann Wilhelm Weinmann's Phytanthoza Iconographia Sive Conspectus Ratisbon: Hieronymum Lenzium, 1739. Etching and mezzotint by Johann J. Haid and Seuter. Printed with colors and finished by hand.
The botanicals of Johan Weinmann are among the most sought-after early botanical engravings. An apothecary by trade, Weinmann published his engravings in the 1700's in Amsterdam. Because each engraving is hand-colored from copper plates and because the paper is hand made, each engraving still holds its original color. Each botanical listed below was published in 1767.

These images are from one of the most diverse and comprehensive series of early fruit and flower prints, issued by Johann Weinmann in the first part of the eighteenth century. The subjects are beautifully drawn and rendered with vivid color. These prints are particularly interesting as an early example of color printing. The copper plates were prepared with etched outlines and mezzotinted interior tones. The images were then printed in color from the plates, and each was delicately finished with hand coloring. A large number of the drawings were done by Georg D. Ehret, one of the greatest eighteenth century botanical artists. This is a famous group of high-quality eighteenth century botanical prints.
