EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "German geaster" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the exquisite artistry of the German School. The print, part of a private collection, is sourced from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned publication "A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA" (Picture Book for Children) that was published between 1790 and 1830. The image features three distinct species of earthstar fungi known as Deutsche Erdsternpilze in German. Each mushroom is beautifully depicted with intricate details and vibrant colors. The crowned earthstar fungus (Geastrum coronatum) stands out with its regal appearance, while the brown-red earthstar fungus (Geastrum rufescens) exudes warmth and richness. Lastly, we have the hygrometric earthstar fungus (Geastrum hygrometricum), named after its unique ability to respond to humidity changes. This enchanting artwork not only showcases the beauty of these mushrooms but also highlights their significance in nature. As plants play a vital role in our ecosystem, it is fascinating to see them captured so meticulously through this engraved medium. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and made available by Bridgeman Images, this print offers a glimpse into botanical illustrations from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of both artistic talent and scientific curiosity that has shaped our understanding of flora throughout history.
