Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (1683-1741) was an influential pharmacist and botanist, director of the longest established pharmacy in Regensburg . He employed Ehret, who was then in his twenties, to make the drawings in Regensburg, many of which were engraved with a recently- developed printing process combining etching and mezzotint, allowing fine detail and subtle shading, which was enhanced by the hand-colouring.It features etching and mezzotint by Haid and Seuter. The Iconographia were the first botanical engravings to be printed in colour with finishing by hand some enhanced with gum arabic

Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708–1770) began his working life as a gardener's apprentice near Heidelberg. His first illustrations were in collaboration with Carl Linnaeus and George Clifford in 1735-1736. Clifford, a wealthy Dutch banker and governor of the Dutch East India Company was a keen botanist with a large herbarium.He had the income to attract the talents of botanists such as Linnaeus and artists like Ehret. Together at the Clifford estate, Hartecamp, which is located south of Haarlem in Heemstede near Bennebroek, they produced Hortus Cliffortianus in 1738.
