About the Item
This is an original antique colored botanical mezzotint and line engraving of flowering Gas Plants or Burning Bush and Fraxinella, which is finished with hand-coloring. It is entitled "Dictamus albus, seu Fraxinella flore Albo", published in 1736 as plate 461 by Johann Wilhelm Weinmann in his monumental publication "Phytanthoza Iconographia".
This engraving is printed on laid chain-linked watermarked paper measuring 15.25" x 9.88". There are two small spots in the lower margin and a small smudge on the right below the letter "a". The print is otherwise in excellent condition.
Johann Weinmann (1683-1741) was a botanist and pharmacist who directed a famous pharmacy in Regensburg. The "Phytanthoza Iconographia" was his masterpiece. It was a huge work in eight folio volumes, which provided one of the most comprehensive botanical references of the eighteenth century. It has been described as a "pioneering work of botanical prints” and it remains today one of the most ambitious works ever undertaken, displaying over 4,000 species.
The artist for the much of the work was the talented Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770), whose work is very collectible to this day. Born of a humble family in Heidelberg, Ehret was taught to draw by his father at an early age. As a young man, he worked as a gardener, first for the Elector of Heidelburg and then the Margrave of Badaen-Durlac. He became a well respected botanist and entomologist and one of the most influential European botanical artists of all time.

It has been described as a "pioneering work of botanical prints” and it remains today one of the most ambitious works ever undertaken, displaying over 4,000 species. The artist for much of the work was the gifted and very collectible Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). Born into a humble family in Heidelberg, Germany, Ehret was taught to draw by his father at an early age.
