| Apiaceae - Levisticum officinale From: Darstellung und Beschreibung sämtlicher in der Pharmacopoea Borusica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse by Otto Carl Berg & Carl Friedrich Schmidt. Leipzig, Arthur Felix, [1858-1863], 1. edition, volume 4, plate 25e. Hand-coloured lithograph (sheet 215 x 278 mm). Text enclosed. € 85
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. www.meemelink.com · index · Apiaceae |
