Leiden/ Utrecht, P. van der Aa/ F. Halma, 1696, 2 vols., (36) p., 640 colunms; (2) p., 641-929 columns, (64) p., engr. frontisp., title-vignette, 12 vignettes and 243 full-p. plates, modern half calf, folio.

Library stamp on half titles. One plate w. sm. tear (expertly restored), margin one page repaired, approx. 20 lvs. sl. dampstained in margin (occas. minimally affecting plate), a trifle foxing. Nissen BBI, 1429; Pritzel 6559; Hunt 404: "The plates are as curious as their subjects. They commonly present the plants far larger than life, oranges huge as pumpkins, cyclamens with heavy corms floating lightly in mid-air, gentle geraniums grown into giant trees. The effect is obtained through sketching in classical or idyllic or mountainous little landscapes below."
