This print showcases a stunning depiction of the Silk plant, also known as Asclepias syriaca Swalmen root or Asclepras hijrundinaria. The image is part of the third album containing exquisite drawings of flowers and plants commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the early 17th century. The artwork, created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610, exhibits remarkable attention to detail. The delicate petals and intricate roots are beautifully captured using a combination of watercolor, chalk, ink, pen, and deck paint on paper. Numbered at the top right corner with "252" this particular illustration stands out among twelve albums that feature various animals, birds, and plants from around 1600. Its significance is further emphasized by its title written in four languages displayed prominently at the top left. Accompanied by explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French languages beneath it adds an educational touch to this artistic masterpiece. This photograph print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also serves as a historical testament to Emperor Rudolf II's passion for botanical exploration during his reign. Measuring approximately 255 mm in height and 173 mm in width, this visually striking composition invites viewers into a world where artistry meets scientific curiosity. It offers an opportunity to admire both the skillful craftsmanship of Anselmus Boetius de Boodt and the enchanting allure of nature's wonders captured within these pages
