    Flora Danica
    (1883) Oeder, Georg Christian (03.02.1728-28.01.1791) botaniker
    Flora Danica is a comprehensive botanical work consisting of 3,240 folio-sized, coloured copper-plate engravings of wild plants found primarily in Denmark and neighboring Scandinavian countries. The ambitious illustration project was first proposed by by G. C. Oeder, professor of botany at the Botanic Garden in Copenhagen, in 1753. The work eventually comprised of 51 parts and three supplements, and involved a number of botanists and artists, most prominently Michael Rössler (1705–1777) and his son, Martin Rössler (1727–1782). The publication took 123 years to create and was first released in 1883. The collection has also become renowned for its artistic merit, inspiring a line of 1503 porcelain dinnerware pieces produced by the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory.
