The story behind the motif
Poster with an illustration of David Nathaniel Friedrich Dietrich (1800-1888) who was an important figure in 19th century German botany.
In this illustration we see different types of vegetation, including both foliage and fruits to represent the biodiversity in the ecosystem.
Dietrich was born in Ziegenhain and, following the family tradition, devoted his life to botany. After completing his doctorate, he became curator of the herbarium of the University of Jena. During his lifetime, he wrote various treatises on the German flora, mosses, fungi and grasses, as well as several encyclopedias on botany.
David Dietrich published a dozen important botanical works over a period of more than thirty years, and is best known as the editor of the monumental and lavishly illustrated Flora Universalis. Flora Universalis, consisting of two volumes with over 300 plates, was published between 1831 and 1856.
Frame not included.
