A 1574 Latin herbal by the Mechelen physician Rembert Dodoens, printed by Christophe Plantin in Antwerp for physicians and apothecaries, cataloguing purgative, poisonous and twining plants with appended rare flowers. Its pages show woodcut botanical plates of single plants drawn whole, roots included, with handwritten Latin names in the margins; a designer could borrow the sparse, precise linework and the way each specimen floats isolated on aged paper.
