Icones plantarum medico-oeconomio-technologicarum cum earum fructus ususque descriptione. Vienna.

This set of an extremely rare botanical monograph contains 1,187 hand-coloured engraved plates and is bound in a contemporary half-leather binding. Volumes 1 to 2 were written by Vietz, an Austrian physician, who later became Professor of Forensic Medicine at Vienna University. Volumes 4 to 11 and the Supplement were probably edited or perhaps written by Joseph Lorenz Kerndl. The set was published in Vienna by Schrämblschen Verlag between 1800 and 1822. This acquisition replaces the Museum's previous set which was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1940. One plate is illustrated in the AR.
