Object history
Notes This album of drawings by Holtzbecker illustrates the flowers in the garden of Eberhard Anckelmann, the father of the Hamburg merchant, Caspar Anckelmann who widely developed the garden, a view of which is illustrated by Holtzbecker in c.1669, in the 'Hortus Anckelmannianus' vol. 1, fol 2v - 3r (Berlin Kupferstichkabinett, Sign.78 D 4). For a history of the garden, see Anne Schattmann, 'Von der Leidenschaft für Blumen - das Florilegium des Caspar Anckelmann' in Michael Roth, Magdalena Bushart and Martin Sonnabend, 'Maria Sibylla Merian und die Tradition des Blumenbildes, exhibition catalogue, Staatliche Museen Kupferstichkabinett Berlin and Städel Museum, Frankfurt, 2017, pp. 117-125.
