About Jacob Trew and Georg Dionysius Ehret
Dr. Jacob Trew was a Nuremberg physician who collaborated with the young German artist Georg Dionysius Ehret to produce a number of botanical publications. As a physician, Trew’s botanical knowledge was considerable because the study of botany and medicine overlapped significantly at this time. Meanwhile, Ehret was the artistic force behind their projects and looked to Trew for guidance and direction. The fruitful collaboration of the two men resulted in a number of historic botanical folios including Plantae Selectae (1750 – 1773).
About Plantae Selectae
Plantae Selectae (1750 – 1773) was an isolated phenomenon among 18th-century botanical illustrations in that it appealed to both artistic and scientific communities because of its astounding beauty and botanical accuracy, causing French naturalist Bernard de Jussieu to commend Trew by exclaiming; “The coloured drawings of plants which you have published surpass in beauty and exactitude everything that has appeared in this genre till now” (Bernard de Jussieu 1754).
The Oppenheimer Edition of Plantae Selectae offers all 100 of Jacob Trew and Georg Dionysius Ehret’s plates of exotic plants and botanicals as modern prints. In a limited edition of 200, the fine art prints are made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.
About Oppenheimer Editions
Established in 1999, our publishing company Oppenheimer Editions was developed in order to produce modern facsimiles of historic works of art. Marrying cutting-edge digital printing technologies with canonical works of art, Oppenheimer Editions has partnered with prestigious museums to make their holdings accessible to the public as fine art prints. Works from the New-York Historical Society’s unrivaled collections of John James Audubon’s watercolors and the Hudson River School paintings are examples of art that otherwise would be unobtainable.
Among the institutional collections we have partnered with are the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Our Oppenheimer Editions prints are not mere reproductions. Rather, they are limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.
