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.

After his sister's marriage to the king, he made a career at court, quickly receiving the titles of Viscount Beauchamp and Earl of Hertford and the offices of Chancellor of North Wales and Governor and Captain of Jersey. In the last years of Henry VIII, Seymour took part in military campaigns against France and Scotland, and after the latter's death became Lord Protector to the still minor King Edward VI. As regent of England, Seymour openly promoted Protestantism, which led to rebellions in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. His campaign against Scotland, an attempt to force the marriage of Edward VI to Mary Stuart, also a minor Scottish queen, ended in financial disaster for England. Increasingly unpopular among the nobility, Seymour was overthrown in December 1549 and imprisoned in the Tower of London for several months. Although he was released in May 1550 and re-admitted to the Crown Council, the nobility continued to distrust him. On 16 October 1551, at the instigation of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, he was arrested for high treason and beheaded on Tower Hill on 22 January 1552.

After their first meeting, he apparently felt disappointed in his expectations and had the marriage, concluded on 6 January 1540 in Greenwich, declared invalid six months later.
