Berg was professor of
pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University. Schmidt both drew and lithographed
the plates. He was a prolific artist who illustrated many of the German
botanical works of the 19th century. Jackson describes this work, a survey of
plants used in the Prussian pharmacopoeia, as A thoroughly good book, probably
the very best of its class; both in text and illustrations.* Pritzel 646; Jackson p. 203*; Nissen BBI 139; Stafleu & Cowan 10.873.* Nissen BBI 2212; Great flower books p. 84.
