POHL, Johann Baptist Emanuel (1782-1834)
Lophostachys floribunda [Pl. 162]
[Pl. 162]. [Vienna: 1826-1833]. Lithograph, coloured by hand, by Wilhelm Sandler. Sheet size: 20 5/8 x 13 3/4 inches.
A very fine image of a Brazilian exotic, from the de luxe 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.
