Gottlieb von Koch's Jung-Koch-Quentell plates brought the microscopic world of plant anatomy into focus against a dark background that made science look like art — and made the smallest plants in the bog feel as monumental as any cathedral.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe front cover reproduces Gottlieb von Koch's Sphagnum acutifolium plate from the Jung-Koch-Quentell Wandtafeln series (Friedrich Quentell \u0026amp; Heinrich Jung, 1909), Leipzig — pointed bog moss documented with microscopic precision: hyaline water-reservoir cells, archegonium, and sporophyte anatomy rendered against the series' characteristic dark background that transforms botanical diagrams into compositions of striking scientific beauty. The back cover presents the companion plate of Hippuris vulgaris (Mare's-tail), the aquatic plant of European wetlands, with its radial whorls, stem cross-section, and morphological details documented with the same pedagogical rigour of the Wilhelmine botanical education tradition.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 5.75 × 8 in (14.6 × 20.3 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforated pages — tear out cleanly without damaging the binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weight: 100 gsm, suitable for fountain pens and pencils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover with matte finish, casewrap sewn binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 400 g (14.1 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBryologists and moss enthusiasts drawn to the German botanical tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBog and wetland ecologists documenting field observations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors of vintage German educational wall charts and Wandtafeln\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovers of early 20th-century scientific pedagogy and botanical illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday writing, field notes, and daily planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoughtful gifts for botanists, ecologists, and nature lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRead more: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/gottlieb-von-koch-jung-koch-quentell-1909-wandtafeln-botanical-education\"\u003eThe Wandtafeln: Gottlieb von Koch and the Botanical Pedagogy of Wilhelmine Germany\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":62890416832881,"sku":"18764381200026004492","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/Gottlieb_von_Koch_Sphagnum_Moss_Journal_in_Botanical_Laboratory.png?v=1771276385","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/botanical-sphagnum-moss-hardcover-journal-matte-notebook","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
