EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1613 showcases the beauty and diversity of nature's offerings. In this engraving for Basilius Besler's "Florilegium" we are presented with a trio of botanical wonders. On the left, we see the vibrant yellow-flowered wild tobacco, known as Nicotiana rustica. Its delicate petals seem to dance in the wind, inviting us to explore its secrets. In the center, our attention is drawn to a cluster of cranberries in fruit, belonging to the Vaccinium oxycoccus species. These crimson gems glisten under sunlight, promising a burst of tartness when bitten into. Their presence adds a touch of freshness and tanginess to this composition. Lastly, on the right side stands another variety of tobacco plant called Nicotiana. Its leaves exude an air of mystery and intrigue as they unfurl gracefully towards the sky. This depiction reminds us that plants have long been intertwined with human history and culture. The intricate details captured by this engraving highlight not only their aesthetic appeal but also serve as valuable scientific documentation during that era. It speaks volumes about humanity's fascination with botany and our continuous quest for knowledge about these remarkable specimens. As we admire this artwork from centuries past, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to our understanding of nature's bounty through time.
