EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Canterbury Bells and Corn Cockles, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to Besler's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for botanical art. In this particular image, we are presented with three distinct varieties of these enchanting flowers. The first, known as Medium flore purpurea, displays stunning purple blooms that exude an air of elegance and grace. The second variety, Pseudomelantoium flore rubescente, captivates with its radiant reddish hues that seem to dance across the page. Lastly, we have Pseudo melantbium flore albo - a striking white-flowered specimen that stands out amidst its vibrant counterparts. Besler's expertise as an apothecary shines through in this artwork; he not only captured the aesthetic allure of these flowers but also recognized their medicinal properties. These plants were cultivated under his care at the gardens near Eichstat for the Prince Bishop. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from centuries ago, we can't help but appreciate nature's wonders and marvel at how art has preserved them throughout time. This piece serves as a reminder of our connection to the natural world and invites us to explore further into its depths – uncovering both beauty and potential remedies hidden within its petals.
