An exquisite original 18th-century botanical copperplate engraving featuring three distinctive varieties of Euphorbia, beautifully illustrated in soft shades of sage, olive, and deep green.

Published in Johann Wilhelm Weinmann's celebrated Phytanthoza Iconographia (1737-1745), one of the most ambitious botanical works of the 18th century. The engraving showcases the remarkable diversity of succulent plants, from sculptural, thorn-covered leaves to branching stems and delicate flowering forms.

Plate No. 497 features finely engraved botanical details, original hand coloring, and elegant Latin inscriptions identifying each specimen. Plant a represents Euphorbia antiquorum (commonly called the Antique Spurge). Plant b represents Euphorbia neriifolia (Hedge Euphorbia / Oleander-leafed Spurge).
