Antique Botanical Prints by De
Bry
Johann Theodor De Bry (1528-1598) came
from Liege, Belgium to Frankfurt on the Main and founded about 1570
an important publishing house. The famous
Florilegium Novum, a
comprehensive flower book was first published between 1612 and 1618.
The copper engravings we are offering are in very good condition in
beautiful modern coloring and are mostly from the 1641 edition,
published by Matthäus Merian, Johann Theodor De Bry's
son-in-law. The complete title: Florilegium
renovatum et auctum: variorum Maximeque rariorum germanium, florum ac
platarum. The beauty of the prints is beyond
comprehensible description. If you are interested we suggest that you
click for viewing. The De Bry number under the image is the plate
number on each page. Left margins are narrower. Some have been
reinforced. Complete margins are not shown below. Prints have normal
age toning and a few very minor spots. Special flaws are mentioned
below.
The page size: Ca. 31.2 x 19
cm ( 12.3 x 7.5 ") unless otherwise given.
