Extremely Rare Botanical Print
4 Conifers: Sabina baccata altera, Arbor Vitae, Juniperius, Cedrus phoenicea Plate 42 from Florilegeum By Emanuel Sweert Engraved by Jan Jansson Published in Amsterdam in 1657 Copper engraving. Four species of conifer showing branches, needles and berries. The designs are beautifully balanced on the page and the captions elegantly inscribed. Emanuel Sweert was prefect of the gardens of the Emperor Rudolf II in Prague. His Florilegium was first printed in Frankfurt by Kempner in 1612 -1614. It was originally a sales catalogue for plants and bulbs from Sweert's gardens, to be sold at fairs in Frankfurt and Amsterdam, but now these very attractive engravings are regarded as fine examples of 17th century botanical illustration and are much collected. Engraved by Jan Jansson. Good condition, good margins. Size: 8½ x 13 inches. Under glass in wood frame (frame is chipped top left corner). Quite rare! The Fine Print. Please read!
