WEINMANN, Johann Wilhelm. Duidelyke Vertoning, Eeniger Duizend in alle vier waerelds deelen wassende Bomen, Stammen, Kruiden, Bloemen, Vrugten en Uitwassen...Tweede Deel . Amsterdam: Zacharias Romberg, 1739. Volume II of the plates only, 2° (400 x 250mm.). Letterpress title printed in red and black with engraved vignette, 250 engraved and mezzotint plates, including 9 double-page plates and 1 folding, printed in colour and finished by hand, by Bartholomaeus Seuter, Johann Ridinger and Johann Jakob Haid after G. D. Ehret, N. Asamin and others. (Some dampstaining to lower margins.) Contemporary sheep gilt (binding neatly repaired). Provenance: Charles R. Tronchin (signature on title). Sold as a collection of plates, not subject to return. This is the Dutch edition of Weinmann's Phytanthoza Iconographia , "the first successful botanical book using color-printed mezzotint." ( Hunt Catalogue p.160). The work was printed using Johannes Teyler's invention, patented in 1688, which combined engraving with colour-printed mezzotints. It contains Ehret's first published botanical illustrations (unsigned), completed when he was apprenticed to Weinmann as a botanical draughtsman; Weinmann paid Ehret a pittance for the hundreds of drawings he supplied, leading to a rift between the two men - perhaps the reason why Ehret is not acknowledged anywhere in the book. "A most interesting and valuable work." (Dunthorne 327). Landwehr Dutch Books with Coloured Plates 212; cf. Nissen BBI 2126; Hunt 494; Great Flower Books p.80.
