HAID (*1704) after SEUTTER (*1677), Silver tree plant, around 1737, Copper engraving Johann Jakob Haid (1704 Kleineislingen - 1767 Augsburg) after Bartholomäus Seutter (around 1677 Augsburg - around 1754 ): Scolymocephalus Africanus foliis longis cono variegato B, N 895, Silberbaumgewächs, c. 1737, Copper engraving Technique: Copper engraving on Paper Inscription: At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Scolymocephalus Africanus foliis longis cono variegato.

Date: c. 1737 Description: Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683-1741): Editor, Bartholomäus Seuter (1678- 1754): Painter; Johann Jakob Haid (1704- 1767)Johann Elias Ridinger ( 1698-1767): Engraver, 1737/1745, hand-coloured copperplate engraving depicting a silver tree plant after a design by Seuter, printed between 1737-1745. publisher: H. Lentz and H.G. Neubauer, Regensburg. The editor of the "Phytanthoza Iconographia" Johann Wilhelm Weinmann was a pharmacist based in Regensburg and dealt with plants and their effects on a daily basis. His interest in research went so far that he ran his own botanical garden. This resulted in a comprehensive four-volume work that was published in Regensburg between 1737 and 1745. In this "Pictorial Description of Plants and Flowers", countless European and non-European plants are depicted in large format and in great detail. This sheet comes from a series of four sheets and shows silver tree plants and their seeds. In addition to the printing technique of copperplate engraving, a new (colour) printing process was used here for the first time in the context of botanical books. Seuter had further developed the "mezzotint", which goes back to the Dutchman Johan Tyler. This made it possible to colour the plates evenly.
