EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving from the 17th-century botanical masterpiece, Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler, showcases the vibrant beauty of Jamaican Sorrel, Bellflower, and Prickly Saltwort. The intricate details captured in this print transport us to a time when nature's wonders were meticulously documented and celebrated. Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg and curator of the Prince Bishop's gardens near Eichstat, dedicated his life to studying and cultivating plants. His passion for botany is evident in this illustration as he skillfully portrays each plant with precision and artistry. In the foreground, we are captivated by the resplendent Jamaican Sorrel (I Sabdariffa), its crimson petals exuding warmth against a backdrop of lush green foliage. To its right stands the delicate Campanula folys serratis coerulea (II), commonly known as Canterbury Bell or Bellflower. Its bell-shaped flowers gracefully cascade down slender stems like ethereal chimes. Completing this enchanting composition is Kali Minus (III), also known as Prickly Saltwort or Goose Foot. This hardy plant thrives in salt marshes with its thorny leaves serving as protection against harsh coastal conditions. The historic significance of this artwork cannot be overstated; it offers a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression during the German Renaissance period. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print represents a treasure
