EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of Autumn Snowflake and Meadow Saffrons, as depicted in Basil Besler's Hortus Eystettensis. Created by the German apothecary and gardener in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving showcases his meticulous attention to detail. Besler's expertise is evident in his depiction of various species, including Leucoium bulbosum Autumnale tenuifolium (Autumn Snowflake) and Colchicum vulgare plyanthos (Meadow Saffron). Each flower is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors that bring them to life on paper. As an apothecary, Besler was responsible for cultivating medicinal plants at the Prince Bishop's gardens near Eichstat. This illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the importance of these plants in traditional medicine. The inclusion of Colchicum vulgare album (White Meadow Saffron) and Colchicum vulgare purpura scente flore (Purple Meadow Saffron) demonstrates Besler's knowledge of different varieties within a single species. These bulbs were highly valued for their medicinal properties and spice-like fragrance. This botanical print from Heritage Images exemplifies both artistry and scientific precision. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of herbalism while showcasing nature's intricate wonders. Whether displayed in a home or office setting, this image will surely inspire admiration for both its aesthetic appeal and historical significance.
