EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "White Horehound, Horehound and Mint, from Hortus Eystettensis" transports us back to the 17th century. Created by Basil Besler, an apothecary in Nuremberg with a passion for botany, this exquisite print showcases three distinct medicinal plants. In the foreground stands Marrubium vulgare or White Horehound, known for its bitter taste and numerous healing properties. Its delicate white flowers contrast beautifully against the vibrant green leaves. Next to it is Marrubium creticum angustis folys modorum or simply Horehound, another herb renowned for its therapeutic benefits. Completing this botanical trio is Mentha sarracenica or Mint, recognizable by its serrated leaves and refreshing aroma. Used since ancient times as a natural remedy for digestive issues and respiratory ailments, mint adds a touch of invigorating freshness to this composition. Besler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate lines capture the essence of each plant with remarkable precision while maintaining a sense of artistic elegance. Displayed within private collections around the world today, this print serves as a testament to both Besler's expertise as an illustrator and his dedication to preserving knowledge about medicinal plants during his time at Prince Bishop near Eichstat. Through this enchanting artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of nature's abundant gifts and humanity's enduring quest for wellness through herbal
