POHL, Johann Baptist Emanuel (1782-1834)
Siphocampilus crenatifolius [Pl. 170]
[Pl. 170]. [Vienna: 1826-1833]. Lithograph, coloured by hand, by Wilhelm Sandler. Very good condition apart from some minor foxing. Image size (including text): 14 3/8 x 9 1/2 inches. Sheet size: 20 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches.
A very fine image of a Brazilian exotic, from the deluxe, large-paper, hand-coloured issue of Pohl's masterpiece.
Pohl's magisterial Plantarum Brasiliae, one of the most important Brazilian floras, was based on observations and collections that Pohl made while travelling in Brazil from 1817 to 1821. Published upon his return to Vienna, the plates were issued as outline lithographic drawings, or, as here, fully hand-coloured pictures printed on larger sheets of paper. Pohl was curator of the Vienna Natural History Museum and the Vienna Brasilian Museum.
