Johann Nepomuk Mayrhofer (1764-1832), 52 botanical studies, watercolour and ink, original drawing illustrations for vol. II of the botanical study 'Flora Monacensis', by botanist Franz von Paula Schrank Johann Nepomuk Mayrhofer (1764–1832) was a renowned Austrian painter specializing in botanical art. He is particularly known for his collaboration with the botanist Franz von Paula Schrank on 'Flora Monacensis', a major work illustrating the wild plants around Munich. The publication 'Flora Monacensis', which appeared between 1811 and 1818, consists of four richly illustrated volumes. Mayrhofer produced approximately 400 lithographs, depicting local plants with remarkable scientific precision. The work was printed in Munich at the lithographic workshop of Hermann Mitterer, using the lithographic press of Alois Senefelder, a pioneer of this technique. This lot contains the original drawings in watercolour and ink for vol. II of the 'Flora Monacensis. The drawings were sold at auction in Munich on June 10th 1833, along with the full furnishings, drawings, paintings and the 400 lithographic stones for the 'Flora Monacensis'. The watermarks are mainly Swiss, and in use in the late 18th/ early 19thC. https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb00109525?q=%28flora+monacensis%29&page=4,5
