Berolini (Berlin), 1788. Folio-size (35.8 x 22.2 cm) delicately hand-coloured loose lithograph of plants with printed caption.
The Pharmaceutica is a very rare work; it is seldom found complete and even individual plates of plants are rare. This print in very good. Some browning to the right outer and lower margins. No creases, dents or tears present, overall in a fresh condition. Nissen BBI, 784. Stafleu and Cowan (under 2834) "Not seen".
