Nikolaus Joseph Jacquin
"Auswahl schoener und selterner gewachse,..." 1795-96 first edition
fine hand-coloured engraved plates of "a selection of beautiful and rare plants"
approximately 4¾ x 8 inches on 18th century hand-laid paper
Jacquin, a distinguished scientist, was born in Leiden and established his career in Vienna.
He served for a time as head of the Schonbrunn Gardens, which, during his tenure, became one of the most celebrated gardens of its day. he was a prolific and sensitive draftsman, said to have made more than 7,000 drawings of plants.
His engravings are virtually flawless, exceptional in terms of their execution and colouring.
