EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Red Carnation and Lavender" is a remarkable piece of botanical art from the 17th century. Created by Basil Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg, this print showcases his expertise in both horticulture and illustration. Besler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the vibrant depiction of these two exquisite flowers. The red carnation stands tall with its plenitude of double blooms, exuding a sense of elegance and grace. Its rich color symbolizes passion and love, while also adding a touch of warmth to any space it adorns. Contrasting against the carnation's fiery hue is the delicate lavender plant with its white and blue blossoms. Known for its calming properties, lavender has been cherished throughout history for its soothing fragrance and medicinal uses. This inclusion adds depth to the composition, creating a harmonious balance between intensity and tranquility. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its beauty but also in its representation of German botanical knowledge during the 17th century. As Besler was responsible for tending to gardens at Prince Bishop near Eichstat, his work served as an invaluable resource for understanding various plants' characteristics and potential applications. This stunning print belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection—a testament to our fascination with nature's wonders across centuries. It serves as a reminder that even amidst today's fast-paced world, there is solace in appreciating timeless artistry inspired by
