Wilhelm's "Unterhaltungen aus der Naturgeschichte" (Encyclopedia of Natural History).
The intricate lines and delicate colors bring out the unique characteristics of each plant, from the deep blue-purple hues of Croton tinctorium to the soft purple petals of Senecio elegans. The composition is a testament to both the artistic skill of the engraver and the scientific precision of botanical illustration.
