EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from Basilius Besler's Florilegium, published in Nuremberg in 1613, showcases the botanical beauty of a potato plant (Solanum tuberosum) surrounded by thyme plants (Thymus sp. ). The intricate details and delicate lines of this illustration transport us back to a time when scientific exploration was just beginning to unravel the mysteries of nature. The potato plant takes center stage with its lush foliage and vibrant flowers. Its significance cannot be overstated as it became a staple crop that revolutionized global agriculture. This engraving serves as a reminder of how this humble tuber transformed societies and diets around the world. Flanking the potato are thyme plants, adding an enchanting touch to the composition. Thyme has long been valued for its aromatic leaves and medicinal properties, making it an essential herb in culinary and healing practices. Basilius Besler, a German botanist and pharmacist, dedicated his life to documenting various species through detailed engravings like this one. His Florilegium remains an invaluable resource for scientists and art enthusiasts alike. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of the rich history behind every botanical discovery. It is through such meticulous illustrations that we can appreciate both the aesthetic allure and scientific importance of these remarkable plants.
