Herbario nuouo
Herbario nuouo is a 1585 botanical herbal by Castore Durante, printed in Rome by Bartholomeo Bonfadino and Tito Diani for physicians and apothecaries interested in medicinal plants. Its woodcut plants are drawn with whole roots, stems, leaves and flowers, set against plain page backgrounds, giving a designer clear, linear botanical forms to adapt for borders, patterns or line-art motifs.
