EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of Mullein, belonging to the genus Verbascum. The artwork is sourced from Hortus Eystettensis, an esteemed botanical publication by Basil Besler (1561-1629). Published in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving exemplifies the exceptional artistry of the German school during that era. Basil Besler, renowned apothecary and custodian of the gardens near Eichstat for Prince Bishop, meticulously captured the beauty and intricacy of this medicinal plant. The image portrays various species of Mullein: I Blattaria flore albo (white-flowered), II Blattaria flore luteo (yellow-flowered), III Blattaria Pliny verbascum nigrum (black mullein). The vibrant colours and intricate details make this illustration truly mesmerizing. Each delicate petal and leaf has been carefully rendered to highlight its unique characteristics. This historical piece not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into herbal medicine practices prevalent during that time. Mullein holds significant importance in traditional medicine due to its numerous healing properties. Also known as velvet plant or moth mullein, it has been used for centuries to treat respiratory ailments such as coughs and bronchitis. This remarkable print from Heritage Images belongs to their Historica Graphica collection, which celebrates botanical illustrations from different periods in history. It stands as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic brilliance
