"Vergiftige Planten" (Poisonous Plants) is a botanical illustration by George Lodewijk Funke, created between 1865 and 1875. This detailed black and white lithograph showcases a variety of toxic plants, each labeled with its Dutch name. The artwork, measuring 340 mm x 416 mm, uses a precise and scientific approach to depict the morphology of these plants, making it a valuable resource for both botanical study and awareness of dangerous flora.
