The Herball, or Generall Historie of Plantes is a 1636 London herbal compiled by John Gerarde and enlarged by Thomas Johnson, printed for medical practitioners and apothecaries interested in plant remedies. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcuts of single plants shown whole, from stem and leaves down to the root, with simple outlines and little shading, a clear model for botanical line drawing and specimen layouts.
