Alberti von Haller icones plantarum Helvetiae : ex ipsius historia stirpium helveticarum denuo recusae, cum descriptionibus clarissimi auctoris : eiusque praefatione de rebus historiam naturalem alpium helveticarum illustrantibus
A botanical plate book by Albrecht von Haller, with commentary by Jacob Samuel Wyttenbach, published in 1795 in Switzerland for naturalists and students of Swiss flora. Its pictures are copperplate engravings of individual plants, each sheet showing a stem, leaves, and root alongside small enlarged floral details labelled with letters. A designer might take the tidy scientific layout, the sepia-toned hand-drawn botany, and the arrangement of isolated specimens with numbered detail views.
