NATURE PRINTING

Dan Friedus, in his September 25, 2000 Coin World column, (p70) discusses nature printing on colonial American currency. A quick search on the topic at the Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov/) turned up two books related to nature printing:

Bradbury, Henry [Riley], 1831-1860.
Nature-printing: its origin and objects.
London, Bradbury and Evans, 1856.
28 p. 28 x 22 cm.

Bethmann, Laura Donnelly, Nature printing
with herbs, fruits & flowers / Laura Donnelly
Bethmann. Pownal, Vt. : Storey Pub.,
c1996. v, 90 p. : col. ill. ; 27 cm.

Your editor seems to recall at least one other book on the topic, titled "Typographica Naturalis" But recent searches have come up empty. Can any of our readers provide information on this book - does it exist?
