Johann Weinmann (1683-1741), a German pharmacist and apothecary, was author and publisher of 'Phytanthoza Iconographia', one of the most important botanical works of the eighteenth century. Released in eight tranches between 1737 and 1745, it contains 1025 hand-coloured engravings depicting thousands of different plants. Many of the illustrations were created by the young artist George Ehret, who utilised a new printing process involving mezzotint, which enabled greater detail and shading than had been possible with the established techniques of line engraving. Ehret went on the become the pre-eminent botanical artist of the eighteenth century. His original works on vellum are included in The Royal Collection of Her Majesty The Queen.

Johann Wilhelm Weinmann
Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683-1741) was a botanist, pharmacist and academic scholar who directed a famous pharmacy in Regensburg. The "Phytanthoza Iconographia" was his masterpiece; a huge work in eight folio volumes, which provided one of the most comprehensive botanical references of the eighteenth century. It has been described as a "pioneering work of botanical prints” and it remains today one of the most ambitious works ever undertaken, displaying over 4,000 species. The artist for much of the work was the gifted and very collectible Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). Born into a humble family in Heidelberg, Germany, Ehret was taught to draw by his father at an early age. As a young man, he worked as a gardener, first for the Elector of Heidelberg and then the Margrave of Badaen-Durlac. He became a well respected botanist and entomologist and one of the most influential European botanical artists of all time.
