EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1613, when Basilius Besler's Florilegium was published in Nuremberg. The engraving showcases two exquisite botanical specimens: the vervain mallow (Malva alcea) on the left and the marsh mallow (Althaea officinalis) on the right. These delicate flowers are meticulously illustrated, capturing their intricate details with precision. The artist's skillful hand brings these plants to life, highlighting their unique characteristics and showcasing their beauty for all to admire. Each petal, leaf, and stem is carefully depicted, revealing the essence of these remarkable species. Besler's Florilegium was a groundbreaking work that revolutionized botanical illustration during its time. This book served as a comprehensive guide to plant species from around the world and became an invaluable resource for botanists and scholars alike. In this particular engraving, we witness nature's diversity through these two distinct types of mallows. The vervain mallow boasts vibrant purple petals that contrast beautifully against its lush green leaves. On the other hand, the marsh mallow displays soft pink blooms surrounded by velvety foliage. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from centuries past, we are reminded of our enduring fascination with flora and fauna. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for knowledge about our natural surroundings – a pursuit that continues to inspire scientists and artists today.
