EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Bindweed, Dogs Bane, and Sea Bindweed as depicted in Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created during the 17th century, this hand-colored engraving is a testament to Besler's expertise as an apothecary and his role in overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. In this botanical illustration, we are presented with three distinct species: Convolvulus maior flore albo (wild morning glory Calystegiasepium), Scammonca Monspelliens (Cynachum acutum), and Soldanella Marina (Calystegia soldanella). Each plant possesses its own unique charm and allure. The delicate tendrils of these climbing plants intertwine gracefully, showcasing their vibrant colors against a backdrop reminiscent of a seaside landscape. The inclusion of seashells scattered around further emphasizes their affinity for coastal environments. Besler's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also the practical applications of these plants. Notably, Bindweed is known for its repellant properties towards dogs—an interesting characteristic that adds another layer to our understanding of nature's wonders. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this print serves as a window into both artistry and scientific exploration from centuries past. It reminds us that even in today's modern world, there is still much to learn and appreciate about our natural surroundings.
