Basilius Besler, German 1561-1629- Six Botanical Studies from "Hortus Eystettensis"; hand-coloured copper engravings on laid paper, each 48 x 39.5 cm., six (6). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present works are presumably third edition prints (1713-c.1750), on rich laid paper and with text descriptions printed versos. Each species is identified with its Latin name on the print. Besler was a botanist from Nuremberg who acted as the curator of the ‘Eichstatt Garden’, a significant early botanical garden of the Prince-Bishop of Eichstatt. It was in this capacity that Besler produced Hortus Eystettensis – the work for which he is best-known – an illustrated codex of the plants in the garden, which was notable for its scale, detail, and influence on botanical art to follow. 品相报告: four in matching glazed ebonized frames & two in matching ebonised cassetta frames with hand gilded decoration
