EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving from the renowned Basilius Besler's "Florilegium" published in Nuremberg back in 1613. The image beautifully captures three distinct varieties of sage, all belonging to the Salva officinalis family. Each sage plant is depicted with utmost precision and attention to detail. The first variety showcased is the blue-flowered sage, its vibrant blossoms exuding an enchanting allure. Next, we have the white-flowered sage, emanating a sense of purity and elegance. Lastly, the violet sage stands out with its deep purple hues, adding a touch of mystery to this botanical masterpiece. This engraving not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also holds immense scientific value. It offers us a glimpse into the world of botany and biology during that era when detailed illustrations were crucial for understanding plants' characteristics. The roots depicted beneath each plant symbolize their connection to nature's nurturing soil—a reminder that these sages draw their strength from Earth itself. As we admire this historic illustration, let us appreciate Basilius Besler's dedication in preserving botanical knowledge through his Florilegium. This artwork invites us to delve into centuries-old wisdom while marveling at nature's intricate beauty captured on paper.
