EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Sea Lavender, Swine Cress, Calamint" is a stunning piece from the Hortus Eystettensis collection by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this botanical print showcases the intricate details of three unique plant species. The first plant depicted is Sea Lavender (Limonium Syriacum), with its delicate purple flowers and slender stems. Next is Swine Cress (Coronopus), characterized by its vibrant green leaves and small white blossoms. Lastly, we have Calamint (Calamenta Lingustifolys), known for its aromatic foliage and clusters of tiny pink flowers. Besler's expertise as an apothecary shines through in his meticulous representation of these plants. As he was responsible for tending to the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, his knowledge and passion for botany are evident in every stroke of this engraving. This particular print comes from The Stapleton Collection and belongs to a private collection today. It serves as a testament to both Besler's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting nature's beauty. Whether you appreciate herbs or simply admire floral artistry, this enchanting print offers a glimpse into the rich world of botanical wonders.
