EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of botanical wonders from the year 1613. The engraving, featured in Basilius Besler's renowned "Florilegium" takes us on a journey through the intricate world of plants and flowers. At first glance, we are greeted by the delicate beauty of the flowering rush, gracefully positioned on the left side of the composition. Its slender stems and vibrant blooms immediately catch our attention. Moving towards the center, our eyes meet with an enchanting periwinkle plant, also known as Vinca major. Its lush foliage and clusters of purple flowers create a striking contrast against its surroundings. As we explore further into this visual feast, our gaze is drawn to two distinct species of honeysuckle - Lonicera caprifolium at the top right and Lonicera periclymenum at the bottom right. The woodbine variety exudes elegance with its twisting vines while emitting a sweet fragrance that entices both humans and wildlife alike. Meanwhile, its counterpart displays dainty blossoms that add another layer of charm to this already mesmerizing scene. Through this meticulously detailed engraving, we are transported back in time to witness nature's splendor as captured by Basilius Besler himself. This image serves as a testament to his dedication in documenting these botanical marvels for generations to come.
