EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Sultan Zambach Lily and Bulb, Veronica, from Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler. Created in the 17th century, this hand-coloured engraving is a true masterpiece of botanical art. Basil Besler, an apothecary in Nuremberg and the head gardener at the Prince Bishop's gardens near Eichstat, meticulously captured every intricate detail of these plants. The first image depicts Sultan Zambach Martagon Constantinopolitanum with its elegant white flowers that exude an air of regality. The second image portrays Veronica recta coerulea with its vibrant blue blossoms standing tall and proud. The third illustration showcases Bulbus Zambachcum inferisi pantecaulis, revealing its bulbous form beneath a profusion of leaves. This historical artwork not only highlights the visual appeal but also provides valuable information about these plants' characteristics. While their colours may be enticing to our eyes, it is important to note that some lilies can be toxic to cats if ingested. Therefore, caution must be exercised when displaying them around feline friends. This remarkable piece belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a testament to German botanical artistry during the 17th century. Its rich hues and meticulous details make it a timeless treasure for any lover of flora or admirer of historical engravings.
