This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Calamints, as depicted in Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to the artistic prowess of the German School during the 17th century. The image features two varieties of Calamintha montana: I Calamintha montana praestantior and II Calamintha montana vulgaris. Basil Besler, an apothecary from Nuremberg, meticulously illustrated these wild herbs with great attention to detail. His expertise extended beyond his profession as he also managed the gardens at Prince Bishop near Eichstat. Calamints are not only visually stunning but also possess aromatic and medicinal properties.
