From the back cover:
This rich collection of botanical art includes nearly 300 accurate illustrations selected from early printed works. Reproduced from a rare reference on the artwork of German incunabula (books published before 1501), the designs include detailed renderings of woodbine, peony root, cherry, barrenwort, hare's beard, couch grass, and numerous other varieties of flora. Included in this set are:
- One CD-ROM containing 294 high-quality, permission-free images scanned at 600 dpi and saved in six different formats (TIFF, PICT, EPS, BMP, as well as Internet-ready JPEG and GIF)
- A large-format 64-page book with every image on the CD-ROM printed large and clearly on one side of the page only and numbered for easy reference and direct cut-and-paste use
Also included is Dover Design Manager, a simple graphics editing program for Windows, that will allow you to view, print, crop, and rotate the images.
