Orta, Garcia de, active 16th century · 1593 · Antuerpiæ, : ex officina Plantiniana, apud viduam, & Ioannem Moretum. · 10 pictures

A 1593 Latin herbal by Garcia de Orta, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press for a scholarly readership, describing medicinal plants and drugs of India and the Americas. Its pages carry crisp black woodcut plant studies set beside dense type, with a printer's emblem cartouche, and a designer could draw on their clean botanical line, stems and leaves rendered with hatched shading.
