EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Catmint and Catnip, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving is a testament to Besler's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for botanical art. The image features three distinct varieties: I Nepetella, II Nepeta Germanica, and III Menta Felina. Each plant exudes its own unique charm and fragrance, making them beloved additions to any garden. The artist's skillful rendering brings out the intricate patterns of their leaves and flowers with stunning precision. Besler himself was not only an accomplished artist but also an apothecary in Nuremberg. He had the privilege of overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, which provided him with ample inspiration for his botanical illustrations. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. It serves as a reminder of nature's wonders captured through artistry centuries ago. Whether you appreciate these plants for their medicinal properties or simply enjoy their visual appeal, this enchanting engraving is sure to captivate your senses.
