EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed engraving of the Tobacco Plant (Nicotiana tabacum) in full bloom. Created by Basilius Besler for his renowned Florilegium, published in Nuremberg in 1613, this botanical illustration is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature. The artist's skillful hand has captured every delicate detail of the plant, from its vibrant green leaves to the elegant blossoms that adorn it. The engraving brings forth a sense of awe and wonder as one marvels at the precision and accuracy with which each element has been depicted. This particular species, Nicotiana tabacum, holds great significance as it represents one of the many plants introduced to Europe from the New World during this period. Its discovery revolutionized not only botany but also global trade and cultural practices. Besler's Florilegium stands as a testament to his dedication to documenting and celebrating these newfound botanical treasures. This German publication served as an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, providing them with comprehensive knowledge about various plants from around the world. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration was at its peak, unveiling new wonders that would forever change our understanding of biology and our relationship with nature.
