EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the African Tomato and Marjoram plants, captured in 1613 by Basil Besler. The image is a part of the renowned Hortus Eystettensis collection, which beautifully depicts various botanical species from the 17th century. In this particular print, we are presented with two distinct plants - Solanum Pomiferum (African Tomato) and Amaracus vulgaris (Marjoram). The vibrant colors and intricate details of these plants truly bring them to life on paper. It is fascinating to witness how botany was explored centuries ago, as scientists like Besler meticulously documented nature's wonders through engravings. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that gardening and horticulture have always been integral parts of human existence. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into our ancestors' understanding of plant science. The African Tomato stands tall with its luscious red fruits while Marjoram blooms elegantly beside it. These plants symbolize both sustenance and beauty, reminding us of the essential role they play in our lives even today. Through this print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to appreciate the intersection between artistry and scientific exploration during the seventeenth century. Let us cherish these glimpses into our botanical heritage as we continue to cultivate an appreciation for nature's bounty.
