EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century botanical print showcases the exquisite Snowball Viburnum, also known as Garden Broom or Low-growing Alpine Broom. The artwork is part of the renowned Hortus Eystettensis collection, a masterpiece created by Basilius Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg. In this hand-coloured engraving, the delicate beauty of the Snowball Viburnum takes center stage. Its vibrant white flowers form spherical clusters resembling snowballs, hence its name. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every petal and leaf meticulously depicted on paper. Besler's expertise extended beyond his artistic talents; he was also responsible for tending to the gardens at Prince Bishop near Eichstat. His deep understanding of plants and their characteristics allowed him to create accurate representations that continue to captivate viewers centuries later. The historical significance of this piece lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to botany studies during that era.
