Weisz, Josef
Natural history 1954 | Blumen der Berge, kolorierte Holzschnitte mit botanischen erlauterungen von Friedrich Markgraf, Langewiesche Verlag Koningstein im Taunus, 1954, 64 pp. From the series Die Blauen Bücher.
Illustrated throughout with coloured botanical woodcuts. Original illustrated binding with dark blue cover and coloured floral illustration. 27 x 19 cm.
The illustrations combine botanical observation with a highly decorative artistic approach. The plants are presented in elegant compositions, with clearly defined outlines and a restrained yet attractive colour palette. Each illustration identifies the plants by their German and Latin botanical names.
Accompanied by botanical explanations by Friedrich Markgraf, the publication is both an attractive example of twentieth-century botanical book illustration and a useful reference to alpine flora.
