Rubiaceae - Uncaria acida 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 33c. Hand-coloured lithograph (sheet 215 x 278 mm). Text enclosed. € 130
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. |
