EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "Stinking Hellebore, and Two Kinds of Crocus" is a remarkable piece from the Hortus Eystettensis collection by Basil Besler. The image showcases the exquisite beauty of three distinct botanical specimens in vibrant colors. The first plant depicted is the Stinking Hellebore (Helleboraster maximus), known for its striking purple flowers that bloom during springtime. Despite its unpleasant name, this poisonous plant possesses an undeniable allure that captivates both admirers and botanists alike. Beside it, we find two varieties of Crocus (Crocusvernus polyantsos). The first variety boasts a delightful mix of various shades of purple petals, while the second features pristine white blooms. These delicate flowers symbolize hope and renewal as they emerge from their bulbs at the end of winter to announce the arrival of spring. Basil Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through his meticulous hand-colored engraving technique. Each intricate detail is brought to life with precision and care, making this illustration a true testament to his mastery. Particularly noteworthy about this artwork is its historical significance. It was created during a time when botanical studies were gaining prominence across Europe. As head gardener for the Prince Bishop near Eichstat, Besler had access to rare plants and dedicated himself to documenting them meticulously. This stunning print serves as a reminder not only of nature's breathtaking
