EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the delicate beauty of Autumn Snowflake and Meadow Saffrons, as depicted in Basil Besler's Hortus Eystettensis. Created by the German apothecary and gardener in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving showcases his meticulous attention to detail.

Each flower is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors that bring them to life on paper. As an apothecary, Besler was responsible for cultivating medicinal plants at the Prince Bishop's gardens near Eichstat. This illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights the importance of these plants in traditional medicine. The inclusion of Colchicum vulgare album (White Meadow Saffron) and Colchicum vulgare purpura scente flore (Purple Meadow Saffron) demonstrates Besler's knowledge of different varieties within a single species.
