EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century hand-colored engraving, titled "Thorn Apple, Germander and Purple Toadflax" is a mesmerizing piece from the renowned Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. The artist himself was an apothecary in Nuremberg and took charge of the gardens at the Prince Bishop near Eichstat. The artwork showcases three distinct plants with their intricate details beautifully captured. In the first panel, we are introduced to Datura Turcarum or Thorn Apple, known for its hallucinogenic properties. Its delicate white flowers stand out against the dark green leaves, inviting viewers into a world of mystery and enchantment. Moving on to the second panel, we encounter Polium folys & facie Lavendulae or Germander. This medicinal plant boasts vibrant purple flowers that resemble lavender blooms. Its healing properties have been cherished for centuries. Lastly, Linaria purpureo vislacea elatior or Purple Toadflax graces us with its presence in the third panel. With its tall stature and elegant purple blossoms, this plant adds a touch of regality to the composition. Besler's attention to detail is evident throughout this illustration as he meticulously captures each plant's unique characteristics - from seed pods to leaf shapes - making it an invaluable resource for botanists and historians alike. This historical gem belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's wonders
