Description

Berolini (Berlin), 1788. Folio-size (35.9 x 22.1 cm) delicately hand-coloured loose engraving of plants with script caption. = The Pharmaceutica is a very rare work; it is seldom found complete - even individual plates of plants are rare. This print shows the great yellow gentian, "a species of gentian native to the mountains of central and southern Europe. Gentiana lutea is remarkable for the intense bitterness of the root and every part of the herbage. Before the introduction of hops, gentian was used occasionally in brewing. Gentian root has a long history of use as an herbal bitter and is an ingredient of many proprietary medicines" (Wikipedia). This plate is in excellent condition; only some very minor and vague, marginal spotting, very light toning at the edges, no dents or tears present. Nissen BBI, 784; Stafleu and Cowan (under 2834) "Not seen".
