Herbarum vivae eicones, a 1530 herbal printed at Strasbourg by Johannes Schott and written by Otto Brunfels with woodcut plant portraits by Hans Weiditz, meant for physicians and students of medicinal herbs. The pictures are fine-lined woodcuts of single plants shown whole, with roots, stems, leaves and flowers drawn in careful botanical detail against plain paper, a clear model for naturalistic botanical drawing.
