1790 Bertuch Belladonna Engraving
Gorgeous hand-colored engraving from Friedrich Johann Justin Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder," c. 1790, of Belladonna and Deadly Nightshade. The figures are labeled with a delicate script.
Print shows some light surface staining and tanning. High quality paper and beautiful, subtle colors. I love how boldly the poisonous black berries stand out!
