Caspari Bauhini ... Theatri botanici, sive, Historiae plantarum : ex veterum et recentiorum placitis propriaq. observatione concinnatae / liber primus editus opera et cura Io. Casp. Bauhini.
A 1658 botanical treatise, the Theatrum botanicum compiled by Caspar Bauhin and edited by Johann Caspar Bauhin, printed at Basel by Johann König for naturalists and physicians. Its pictures are small woodcut plates of grasses and sedges shown whole, with roots, stems, leaves and flowering heads drawn in fine parallel hatching against the printed page, a clear model for crisp botanical line work.
