Munting, published by Pieter vander Aa and Francois Halma Utrecht and Leiden, 1696. This work enjoyed particular success, at least in part due to the novelty of the plates, which in a radical departure from the iconography of the traditional florilegium, presented its plant species against a charming series of landscape backgrounds The illustrations are remarkable for their elegance and originality. Artists and Engravers: Made by an anonymous engraver after 'Abraham Munting'. Abraham Munting (Dutch, 1626-1683) was professor of botany at the University of Groningen and considerably enlarged the botanical garden his father Henricus Munting had founded. It was known as the 'Paradise of Groningen' and became one of the most extensive gardens of the period. During the summer Munting gave botanical lectures to his students. It was in this beautiful garden that his daughter Hester died eating deadly nightshade. This work portrays plants growing in Munting's garden. His numerous botanical friends had sent the seeds of many of these plants to him from the Dutch East- and West Indies, Africa and the Americas. Munting wrote a number of works on medical-botanical topics. Engraver unknown, although one of the plates is signed Joseph Mulder (1659-1710).
