(Centuria VII.)
This is a botanical plate series of hand-coloured engravings from Joseph Jacob von Plenck's Centuria VII, published in Vienna in 1803 by several Viennese booksellers for botanists and students of plant science. The plates show a pine sprig with cones and seeds, a leafy oak branch with acorns, a hazel branch with catkins and nuts, and a climbing vine with pink flowers. For designers, the plates offer precise linework, soft watercolour washes on cream paper, and labelled specimen layouts with the Latin name set beneath each plant.
