The life
1771–1848Born Nuremberg, Germany
Jacob Sturm was a Nuremberg engraver, trained by his father, who drew and engraved plates of insects and plants for scientific books. His Deutschlands Flora in Abbildungen, begun in the 1790s, pictured thousands of German plants, and his plates were later reused in other books, among them the Scandinavian flora that is the source of our cards.
