$7,670

These images are a pair of original botanical engravings from the third edition of "Hortus Eystettensis" by Basilius Besler, published in 1713. The engravings feature detailed illustrations of various pink flowers. On the left, the flowers are translated from Latin as Wood Pink and Cottage Pink Flowers. On the right, the flowers are Plumed Meadow Pink, Proliferous Pink, and Golden Marguerite. The engravings are hand-colored, showcasing Besler's meticulous attention to detail and vibrant depiction of the flora. The pieces are framed in Italian burl wood, adding an elegant and timeless touch to the artwork. Each frame includes conservation clear glass, which helps protect the engravings from UV damage, and the pieces are mounted with acid-free mats and backer board to ensure their preservation. The overall size of each framed piece is 26.875 by 30.875 inches, making them substantial and striking additions to any collection or decor. These hand-colored botanical engravings are not only valuable for their historical and artistic significance but also as exquisite examples of early 18th-century botanical illustration. They highlight the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom as seen through the eyes of one of the period's most renowned botanists.
