This collection of 3,300 unpublished drawings of the large family of Araceae was prepared by a
group of artists working at the Naturhistorisches Museum of Vienna. The drawings are of quite
superb quality; indeed among the finest known examples of botanical illustrations. Schott
himself published only 198 of these plates during his lifetime, and 42 others were published in
1879.
