Carry the ephemeral perfection of the European florilegium — when Johann Theodor de Bry produced in 1641 one of the finest examples of the genre in Frankfurt, a Florilegium Novum whose hand-colored engravings united scientific precision with artistic sensibility: the front cover features wild catchfly (Lychnis), Cretan chrysanthemums, and oxeye daisies, each meticulously labeled in Latin and rendered in warm reds, soft whites, and delicate flesh tones, while the back cover features Plate 9 with checkered fritillaries and Trinity flowers (pansies), the fritillary's distinctive checkered pattern and the pansy's velvety petals captured with the remarkable botanical precision of 17th-century natural philosophy at its finest.
