Theodorico Dorstenio Medico
Botanicon by Theodor Dorsten, a 1540 Latin herbal printed in Frankfurt by Christian Egenolff for physicians and apothecaries, describing medicinal plants and simples. Its pictures are small woodcut plant portraits, each showing a single specimen with stems, leaves, flowers and roots drawn in clean black line on a plain ground, useful for designers seeking early botanical linework and specimen-style layouts.
