    The book "Phytanthoza iconographia" had more than 1000 plates and was put together 1737-45. So sometime in that period.

    Weinmann didn't do the prints. He was an apothecary and wealthy.

    This is from the link Any J supplied:

    Weinmann employed the youthful Georg Dionysius Ehret as illustrator, who used a newly developed printing process involving mezzotint, which allowed greater detail and shading, and was finished by hand-colouring. Seuter and Ridinger turned out the first volumes, while Johann Jakob Haid managed the later volumes.

    So you would probably want to use all the words J W Weinmann, Georg Ehret, Phytanthoza iconographia, and 1737-45.

    Also consider using "botanical illustration"
