DeBry – Florilegium Renovatum et Actum – 1641 – CGW381501-2

Merian DeBry – Florilegium Renovatum et Actum 1641. These fine hand coloured copper engravings are from the enhanced edition of Johan DeBry’s earlier publication in 1612.

DeBry belonged to a noted family of Master engravers from Frankfurt. Mattheus Merian was the son in law of DeBry and had a reputation for his landscape work, his daughter, Sibylla Merian went on to produce two of the most significant works published (by a woman) in the 18th Century. Both editions of this work are rare but Merian’s expanded work is considerably harder to find.
