EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of nature's delicate offerings. Titled "Creeping Bugle, Spring Vetch and Red Campion" this artwork is a reproduction from Hortus Eystettensis, meticulously crafted by Basil Besler in the 17th century. Besler, an esteemed apothecary in Nuremberg, had the privilege of overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. His expertise in botany shines through as he captures three distinct plant species with remarkable precision. The first image depicts I Consolida media (Ajuga repens), commonly known as Creeping Bugle or Bugleweed. Its vibrant purple flowers gracefully sprawl across the page, creating a mesmerizing carpet-like effect. Next is II Orobus Pannonicus (Lathyrus vernus), also called Sweet Pea or Ground Pine. This enchanting flower boasts soft pink petals that seem to dance delicately amidst its lush green foliage. Lastly, III Lychnis Sylvestris (Silene dioica) - Red Campion or Red Catchfly - takes center stage with its fiery red blossoms contrasting against a backdrop of verdant leaves. Besler's hand-colored engraving brings these botanical wonders to life, highlighting their medicinal and edible properties while showcasing their natural splendor. This historical piece serves as a testament to both his artistic talent and scientific knowledge. With every intricate detail captured on paper, this print invites us to appreciate nature
