EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of Fly Honeysuckle and Hawthorn, taken from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis. Created by Basil Besler in 1613, this hand-coloured engraving captures the essence of these botanical wonders with exquisite detail. The image transports us to a world where nature's splendor reigns supreme. The Fly Honeysuckle, also known as I Xylosteon alterum Dodonei, enchants us with its dainty blossoms that seem to dance on slender branches. Its vibrant colors and intricate petals are a testament to Mother Nature's artistry. Accompanying this enchanting flower is the Hawthorn or II Xylostium floribus albis. With its clusters of white blooms adorning thorny branches, it exudes an air of both elegance and resilience. Known for its medicinal properties and heart health benefits (III Oxycantha), the Hawthorn adds depth to this composition beyond its visual appeal. Basil Besler's expertise as an apothecary shines through in his meticulous depiction of these plants' unique characteristics. As he tended to the gardens near Eichstat under Prince Bishop's guidance, he undoubtedly developed a deep appreciation for their beauty and healing potential. This remarkable print invites us into a realm where science meets artistry—a celebration of nature's bounty captured forever on paper. Whether admired for their aesthetic allure or revered for their medicinal qualities, these botanical treasures continue to inspire awe
