Title page by Hans Weiditz for Herbarum vivae eicones (living plant images or living pictures of herbs). Published in Strasbourg in the 1530's it was a landmark compendium in the development of botanical illustration. The text was compiled by Otto Brunfels from earlier writings,but the illustrations by Weiditz represented a novel approach and set a high standard of realism in the portrayal of plants.
