181 Johann Daniel Preissler (1666–1737) – Studies of Various Medicinal and Herbal Plants – Engraving (c. 1710)
This detailed engraving presents eight distinct botanical illustrations, meticulously rendered and arranged in two columns. Each plant is identified by a number and a German name, including examples such as "Oz Dibilin," "Milen Breß," and "Wickendwinde." The prints showcase the plants with intricate detail, highlighting their roots, leaves, and flowering structures. This work is characteristic of early 18th-century herbals or encyclopedic natural history publications, serving to document and categorize various botanical species, likely for medicinal or scientific study.
Johann Daniel Preissler was a prominent German engraver, painter, and director of the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts. He is best known for his significant contributions to the Teutsche Academie (German Academy), a comprehensive illustrated work that adapted and expanded upon Joachim von Sandrart's original treatise. Preissler played a crucial role in the creation of many plates for this extensive publication, covering various subjects including natural history and botany, thereby influencing artistic and scientific education in early 18th-century Germany.
