Franz Scheidl created approximately 800 botanical illustrations published in Vienna as coloured copperplate engravings in Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin's Hortus botanicus Vindobonensis and Florae Austriacae icones between 1770 and 1778. Johann Jacob von Well's unpublished “Phytanthologia eikonike”, an illustrated manuscript intended as a kind of florilegium and produced between 1768 and 1780, consists in part of plant illustrations based on living specimens, in part of incomplete copies of pre-existing images; these are also by Scheidl's hand. Another manuscript, “Pflanzen Blumen und Früchte”, held by the Oak Spring Garden Foundation Library in Upperville, Virginia, to date incompletely known and possessing similar characteristics, has also been ascribed to Scheidl; its contents are analysed here. These materials help to understand the work of a botanical illustrator and copyist working in the late eighteenth century.
