Johannes Zorn

10 hand-coloured copper engravings come from the first and only Dutch edition of the prestigious botanical work Images of the medicinal plants, published in Amsterdam between 1796 and 1800 by J.C. Sepp and Son. The prints are produced using the original copper plates, imported from Germany, from Johannes Zorns Icones plantarum medicinalium (1779–1784). They are distinguished in particular as the rarer Dutch edition by the refined, hand-coloured inking by the Sepp publishing family. Good.
