1890 Antique Wood Structure Print in German

RARE FIND! Here is an interesting little antique wood science print, extracted from a 1890 German Pierers dictionary. This vintage cactus illustration was the dictionary entry for "Holz", which means wood in German.

This vintage engraving is in German and shows intricately detailed botanical drawings on both sides explaining the structure of tree trunks and bark, from the concentric rings to the microscopic structure of the wood. And isn't that gothic font wonderful?

Frame it in a double-sided reversible frame and gift it to your favorite wood worker or botanist.
