This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Christmas Rose and Snowdrop Variations, as depicted in the renowned Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving captures the delicate details of these winter flowering bulbs. The image features a collection of different variations of Helleborus niger (Christmas Rose) and Leucoium bulborum (Snowdrop). Each variation is meticulously illustrated with precision and care, highlighting their unique characteristics. From the larger Byzantinum Maius to the smaller triphyl Minus, every detail is brought to life through Besler's artistic skill. Besler's role as an apothecary in Nuremberg allowed him access to the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, where he could observe and study these botanical wonders firsthand. His passion for plants shines through in this enchanting engraving. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported into a world where nature's marvels take center stage. The intricate patterns on each petal and leaf remind us of the intricate beauty that exists within our natural surroundings. This piece serves as a reminder that even during winter's chill, there is still vibrant life waiting to bloom. It celebrates both the resilience and fragility found within nature's creations – a true testament to its enduring power. Through this mesmerizing photo print, we are invited to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also reflect on
