Berolini (Berlin), 1788. Folio-size (36.0 x 22.1 cm) delicately hand-coloured loose engraving of plants with script caption.

The Pharmaceutica is a very rare work; it is seldom found complete and even individual plates of plants are rare. This print - which is perhaps the largest of all - shows the European white water lily, white water rose or white nenuphar, an aquatic flowering plant of the family Nymphaeaceae. It is native not only to Europe but also to North Africa, temperate Asia, and even tropical parts of India. The genus name Nymphaea is spelled Nymphea on the plate. This plate is in very good condition; only mild creasing at the left outer edge, probably due to previously binding. No dents or tears present. Nissen BBI, 784; Stafleu and Cowan (under 2834) "Not seen".
